GENERAL MOTORS TO INVEST $4 BILLION AT TENN. PLANTS

General Motors (GM) has announced a $4 billion investment over the next two years to enhance production capabilities at its manufacturing plants in Tennessee and other U.S. states, with the goal of assembling over two million gas and electric vehicles annually. In Tennessee, the Spring Hill Manufacturing plant will produce the gas-powered Chevrolet Blazer starting in 2027, alongside electric vehicles like the Cadillac LYRIQ and VISTIQ, and the Cadillac XT5.
Other facilities, such as Orion Assembly in Michigan, will focus on gas-powered SUVs and trucks, while Factory ZERO in Detroit-Hamtramck will exclusively produce electric models like the Chevrolet Silverado EV and Cadillac ESCALADE IQ. Fairfax Assembly in Kansas will support the gas-powered Chevrolet Equinox and begin production of the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt EV by late 2025, with plans for further investment in affordable EVs.
GM’s CEO, Mary Barra, emphasized the company’s commitment to U.S. manufacturing, job creation, and offering diverse vehicle options to meet customer demand.
