General Motors intends to invest $4 billion over the next two years in its U.S. plants.
The company announced the plan on Tuesday. Its goal is to produce more finished vehicles at plants in Michigan, Kansas and Tennessee.
At Orion Assembly in Oakland County, GM aims to start producing full-size gas-powered SUVs and light-duty pickup trucks in early 2027, citing “continued strong demand.” The automaker says its “Factory Zero” plant in Detroit will be the dedicated assembly location for several electric vehicles: the Chevrolet Silverado EV, the GMC Sierra EV, the Cadillac Escalade IQ and the GMC Hummer EV pickup and SUV.
GM plans to begin making the gas-powered Chevrolet Equinox at Fairfax Assembly in Kansas, which is also set to start building the Chevrolet Bolt EV. At Spring Hill Manufacturing in Tennessee, GM intends to produce the gas-powered Chevrolet Blazer.
“We believe the future of transportation will be driven by American innovation and manufacturing expertise,” said Mary Barra, chair and CEO, in a statement. “(Tuesday’s) announcement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to build vehicles in the U.S and to support American jobs.”
The $4 billion investment will allow GM to assemble more than 2 million vehicles in the United States each year, the company says.
In a statement, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer praised GM’s “massive investment in Lake Orion.”
“I am grateful to GM for bringing more auto manufacturing back home to Michigan, protecting thousands of good-paying, union auto jobs,” Whitmer said.
