Strategic Plant Expansions Across Key States

The company will enhance production across several key plants:

  • Orion Assembly, Michigan: Starting in 2027, GM will produce gas-powered full-size SUVs and light-duty pickup trucks, increasing capacity to meet high demand. Additionally, its Factory ZERO in Detroit-Hamtramck will be dedicated to electric vehicles, including the Chevrolet Silverado EV and GMC Hummer EV.
  • Fairfax Assembly, Kansas: From mid-2027, Fairfax will produce the gas-powered Chevrolet Equinox, along with plans to ramp up production of the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV by the end of 2025.
  • Spring Hill Manufacturing, Tennessee: The facility will add production of the Chevrolet Blazer starting in 2027, alongside existing electric vehicle models such as the Cadillac LYRIQ and VISTIQ EVs.

GM's Ongoing Commitment to American Jobs and Innovation

GM’s CEO, Mary Barra, emphasized the company’s dedication to American manufacturing, highlighting the long-term impact of these investments on job creation and technological advancements. With a footprint spanning 50 U.S. manufacturing plants in 19 states, GM is committed to supporting nearly a million U.S. workers, from employees to suppliers and dealers.

“The scale of our manufacturing operations reflects the positive economic effects on American communities,” said Mark Reuss, GM’s president. The company also continues to lead the U.S. market in full-size pickups and SUVs while growing its presence in the electric vehicle sector, becoming the second-largest EV seller in the U.S. by mid-2024.

GM’s 2025 capital spending guidance remains unchanged at $10 billion to $11 billion, with projections indicating annual spending between $10 billion and $12 billion through 2027, reinforcing the company’s strategic focus on U.S. production and innovation.
