June 11, 2025 — Detroit, MI
General Motors (GM) has unveiled a bold new plan to invest approximately $4 billion into its U.S. manufacturing operations over the next two years, signaling a major step forward in its long-term strategy to expand both electric and internal combustion vehicle production on American soil.
The investment will allow GM to assemble over 2 million vehicles annually in the United States, strengthening the company’s domestic supply chain and creating new opportunities for American workers. It follows a recent $888 million commitment to the Tonawanda Propulsion Plant in New York, aimed at supporting the automaker’s next-generation V8 engine.
Major Plant Upgrades Across Key States
Several of GM’s key manufacturing sites will benefit from the new investments, including facilities in Michigan, Kansas, and Tennessee:
Orion Assembly (Michigan) will begin producing gas-powered full-size SUVs and light-duty trucks starting in early 2027. As a result, Detroit’s Factory ZERO will become the exclusive site for electric pickups and SUVs, including the Silverado EV, Sierra EV, Escalade IQ, and Hummer EV.
Fairfax Assembly (Kansas) is set to begin building the gas-powered Chevrolet Equinox by mid-2027, following strong sales growth of the redesigned model. The plant is also on track to launch production of the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV by year’s end.
Spring Hill Manufacturing (Tennessee) will add the Chevrolet Blazer (gas-powered) to its lineup in 2027, joining Cadillac’s LYRIQ and VISTIQ EVs, as well as the XT5 crossover.
Commitment to U.S. Jobs and Consumer Choice
GM CEO Mary Barra emphasized the company’s commitment to American innovation and jobs. “This investment is about more than just numbers. It’s about empowering our workforce and ensuring customers have a range of choices, whether gas or electric,” she said.
GM currently operates 50 manufacturing and parts plants across 19 U.S. states, supporting nearly a million American jobs through its direct workforce, suppliers, and dealer network.
Strong Market Momentum
The investment comes as GM continues to gain momentum in the U.S. automotive market. The company is expected to finish 2025 as the leader in full-size pickup sales for the sixth consecutive year and has maintained its top position in full-size SUV sales for over five decades.
Notably, GM became the second-largest EV seller in the U.S. during the second half of 2024, thanks to its growing portfolio of 13 electric models under the Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC brands. Chevrolet has emerged as the fastest-growing EV brand in the country.
Looking Ahead
GM’s capital spending plans remain robust, with projections of $10–12 billion annually through 2027. The funding will prioritize key product programs, efficiency improvements, and continued investment in U.S.-based manufacturing.
As the auto industry navigates a rapidly changing landscape, GM is making it clear that its future lies in flexibility—offering both gas and electric vehicles while investing in domestic infrastructure to stay competitive and resilient.
