SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 11, 2025 – General Motors is putting American drivers—and American jobs—at the heart of its future with a bold new $4 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing, aimed at ramping up production of both gas and electric vehicles across the country.
This move promises more of the cars consumers love, made in the communities that helped build GM’s legacy. From SUVs to EVs, the company is expanding its capabilities in Michigan, Kansas, and Tennessee—creating more choices for buyers while fueling economic growth where it matters most.
More Vehicles, More Choices for Drivers
With this investment, GM will boost its capacity to assemble more than two million vehicles a year in the U.S. That means better availability of in-demand models, from powerful trucks to cutting-edge EVs. Among the highlights:
- Orion Assembly (Michigan): Beginning in 2027, expect more gas-powered full-size SUVs and light-duty pickups rolling off the lines. This frees up GM’s Factory ZERO in Detroit-Hamtramck to focus fully on electric icons like the Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, Cadillac ESCALADE IQ, and the HUMMER EV.
- Fairfax Assembly (Kansas): Starting mid-2027, the plant will produce the gas-powered Chevrolet Equinox—whose sales soared over 30% in early 2025. It’s also on track to begin building the all-new 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV by year’s end.
- Spring Hill Manufacturing (Tennessee): The beloved Chevrolet Blazer returns in gas-powered form in 2027, joining EV stars like the Cadillac LYRIQ and VISTIQ, and the Cadillac XT5.
Made in America, for Americans
This massive reinvestment isn’t just about cars—it’s about people. GM’s CEO Mary Barra emphasized the company’s mission: “We believe the future of transportation will be driven by American innovation and manufacturing expertise. 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.”
And with nearly one million Americans depending on GM—from employees and suppliers to dealers—that promise hits home for many.
Communities at the Center of Innovation
Across 50 U.S. facilities in 19 states, GM’s footprint stretches far and wide. From bustling urban plants to small-town assembly lines, the ripple effect is clear.
“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.”
Driving Into a Future of Growth
GM’s smart strategy is paying off with both gas and electric vehicles. In fact:
- The company is heading for its sixth straight year leading U.S. full-size pickup sales.
- It’s topped full-size SUV sales for 51 consecutive years.
- GM is now the #2 EV seller in the U.S., with Chevrolet becoming the fastest-growing EV brand.
With over a dozen EV models in the market—and many more in the pipeline—GM is meeting today’s needs while preparing for tomorrow’s demands.
A Positive Outlook for U.S. Consumers
What does this mean for buyers? More availability, more innovation, and more American-made vehicles designed for real lives and everyday adventures. Whether you’re hunting for a family-friendly SUV or eyeing your first EV, GM’s roadmap is filled with exciting options.
