is the Chevrolet Trax built

is the Chevrolet Trax built at the same factory as the Mokka? I was recently talking to a salesman at a Vauxhall dealer who said that they are struggling to get Mokka's due to the numbers available, sounds like GM  should be upping production especially if the Trax is coming soon also.
