General Motors announced Tuesday plans to invest about $4 billion over the next two years into its U.S. manufacturing plants. The investment aims to increase the domestic production of both gasoline-powered and electric vehicles.
The new funding is expected to allow GM to assemble more than 2 million vehicles annually in the U.S. This follows a recently announced plan to invest $888 million in the Tonawanda Propulsion plant near Buffalo, New York, to support GM's next-generation V-8 engine.
Plants in Michigan, Kansas and Tennessee are slated to expand vehicle production.
Orion Assembly in Orion Township, Michigan, will begin producing gasoline-powered full-size sport utility vehicles and light-duty pickup trucks in early 2027 to help meet demand. This change will make GM's Factory ZERO in Detroit-Hamtramck, Michigan, the primary assembly location for several electric vehicle models, including the Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, Cadillac Escalade IQ and GMC Hummer EV pickup and SUV.
Fairfax Assembly in Kansas City, Kansas, will support production of the gasoline-powered Chevrolet Equinox beginning in mid-2027. Sales of the redesigned Equinox increased 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 this year, and GM anticipates future investments at Fairfax for its next generation of electric vehicles.
Spring Hill Manufacturing in Spring Hill, Tennessee, will add production of the gasoline-powered Chevrolet Blazer starting in 2027. This will occur alongside production of the Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq electric vehicles 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."
GM operates a network of 50 U.S. manufacturing plants and parts facilities across 19 states, including 11 vehicle assembly plants.
