General Motors plans to invest about $4 billion over the next two years in its U.S. manufacturing facilities to expand production of both gasoline-powered and electric vehicles. The investment is expected to enable GM to assemble more than 2 million vehicles annually in the U.S.

This follows GM’s recent commitment to invest $888 million in its Tonawanda Propulsion plant near Buffalo, New York, in support of the company’s next-generation V-8 engine.

Facility Upgrades Across Michigan, Kansas, and Tennessee

GM detailed planned expansions at three major plants to support increased output of its most in-demand models:

• Orion Assembly, Orion Township, Michigan: Starting in early 2027, this plant will produce gas-powered full-size SUVs and light-duty pickup trucks to meet strong consumer demand. As a result, Factory ZERO in Detroit-Hamtramck will exclusively assemble electric models including the Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, Cadillac Escalade IQ, and GMC Hummer EVs.

• Fairfax Assembly, Kansas City, Kansas: Production of the gas-powered Chevrolet Equinox will begin here in mid-2027. The redesigned Equinox saw sales climb more than 30% year-over-year in Q1 2025. Fairfax is also preparing to start production of the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV later this year, and GM plans future investments in the plant for its next generation of affordable EVs.

• Spring Hill Manufacturing, Spring Hill, Tennessee: In 2027, the plant will begin producing the gas-powered Chevrolet Blazer. It currently builds the Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq EVs, as well as the Cadillac XT5.

Commitment to U.S. Manufacturing and Jobs

“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 50 U.S. manufacturing and parts facilities in 19 states, including 11 vehicle assembly plants. Nearly 1 million Americans depend on GM for their livelihood, including employees, suppliers, and dealers.

“Today’s news goes well beyond the investment numbers — this is about hardworking Americans making vehicles they are proud to build and that customers are proud to own,” said GM President Mark Reuss. “As you travel the country, you can see firsthand the scale of our manufacturing footprint and the positive economic impact on our communities and our country.”

Sustained Growth in Gas and Electric Vehicle Sales

GM continues to post strong U.S. sales and is gaining market share in both gas and electric vehicle segments. The company is on track for its sixth consecutive year as the full-size pickup sales leader and its 51st year as the full-size SUV sales leader. 

In late 2024, GM became the second-highest EV seller in the U.S., with 13 EV models across its Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC brands. Chevrolet is now the fastest-growing EV brand and ranks second in EV sales overall, according to the manufacturer. 

GM’s 2025 capital spending guidance remains unchanged at $10 billion to $11 billion. From 2025 through 2027, the company expects annual capital expenditures between $10 billion and $12 billion, reflecting increased U.S. investment, a focus on key programs, and greater operational efficiency.
