General Motors announced it will invest $4 billion over the next two years to expand production capacity at its U.S. manufacturing plants, boosting annual domestic vehicle assembly to more than 2 million units.
The investment will support both gas-powered and electric vehicle output, with additional funding already committed to General Motors (GM)’s Tonawanda Propulsion plant in New York for next-generation V-8 engine production, according to a June 10 GM release. Facilities in Michigan, Kansas and Tennessee will see increased production of top-selling models.
Orion Assembly will begin producing gas-powered SUVs and pickups in 2027, while Factory ZERO will become the dedicated plant for GM’s electric pickups and SUVs, according to the release. Fairfax Assembly will add the gas-powered Chevrolet Equinox and the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV, with future EV investments planned. Spring Hill Manufacturing will expand to build the Chevrolet Blazer alongside Cadillac’s EV lineup.
The expansion underscores GM’s commitment to U.S. manufacturing, where it operates 50 facilities across 19 states and supports nearly 1 million jobs through employees, suppliers and dealers, according to the release. GM continues to lead in full-size SUV and pickup sales and recently became the No. 2 EV seller in the United States, with Chevrolet ranked as the fastest-growing EV brand.
Capital spending guidance for 2025 remains unchanged at $10 billion to $11 billion, with projected annual investments of $10 billion to $12 billion through 2027.
