DETROIT – General Motors plans to invest about $4 billion over the next two years in its domestic manufacturing plants to increase U.S. production of both gas and electric vehicles.
The new investment will give GM the ability to assemble more than 2 million vehicles per year in the U.S., a news release states. The announcement comes on the heels of the company’s recently announced plan to invest $888 million in the Tonawanda Propulsion plant near Buffalo, N.Y., to support its next generation V-8 engine.
Plants in Michigan, Kansas and Tennessee will expand finished vehicle production of several of GM’s most popular vehicles:
- Orion Assembly, Orion Township, Mich.: GM will begin production of gas-powered full-size SUVs and light-duty pickup trucks at Orion in early 2027 to help meet continued strong demand. As a result, GM’s Factory Zero in Detroit-Hamtramck, Mich., will be the dedicated assembly location for the Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, Cadillac Escalade IQ and GMC Hummer EV pickup and SUV.
- Fairfax Assembly, Kansas City, Kan.: Fairfax Assembly will support production of the gas-powered Chevrolet Equinox beginning in mid-2027. Sales of the recently redesigned Equinox were up more than 30% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2025. Fairfax remains on track to begin building the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV by the end of the year. GM expects to make new future investments in Fairfax for GM’s next generation of EVs.
- Spring Hill Manufacturing, Spring Hill, Tenn.: GM will add production of the gas-powered Chevrolet Blazer at Spring Hill starting in 2027, alongside the Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq EVs and the Cadillac XT5.
“We believe the future of transportation will be driven by American innovation and manufacturing expertise,” said Mary Barra, GM chair and CEO. “Today’s announcement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to build vehicles in the U.S. and to support American jobs. We’re focused on giving customers choice and offering a broad range of vehicles they love.”
