General Motors is investing $4 billion over the next two years to increase U.S. manufacturing capacity, primarily focusing on gas-powered vehicles. This includes shifting production of two Chevrolet models currently made in Mexico to U.S. plants, as well as expanding production of gas-powered SUVs and pickup trucks at existing facilities.
Key Details:
- Investment Amount: $4 billion
- Focus: Primarily gas-powered vehicles, though some electric vehicle production is also involved
- Plant Locations: Michigan, Kansas, and Tennessee
- Model Shifts: The gas-powered Chevrolet Blazer and Chevrolet Equinox will be moved from Mexico to the Spring Hill, Tenn. plant and the Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas, respectively.
- Expansion: The Orion Assembly plant in Orion Township, Michigan, will be retooled to produce gas-powered full-size SUVs and light-duty pickup trucks.
- Timing: Production shifts are slated to begin in 2027.
- Reasoning: The investment is partly driven by increased demand for gas-powered vehicles and a shift away from electric vehicle production.
