General Motors' Spring Hill Manufacturing facility in Spring Hill, Tennessee
Driving the news: General Motors $GM ( ▼ 1.22% ) is putting $4 billion into U.S. plants over the next two years, ramping up domestic production of both gas and electric vehicles.
For context: The money is going to three facilities. Spring Hill in Tennessee will start building gas-powered Chevy Blazers in 2027, and the automaker’s Fairfax plant in Kansas will add Equinox production that same year. GM is also pivoting its Michigan Orion plant, switching from electric truck plans to gas-powered SUVs and pickups instead.
Why it matters: The investment will boost GM's annual U.S. production capacity to over 2 million vehicles as the company navigates Trump's tariffs, which are expected to cost GM $4-5 billion this year.
What they’re saying: We believe the future of transportation will be driven by American innovation and manufacturing expertise," GM CEO Mary Barra said in a release. "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.
