General Motors has announced an investment of roughly $4 billion into three US manufacturing plants, shifting some of its operations from Mexico amid newly imposed tariffs.
Getting into it: In a release, GM confirmed a roughly $4 billion investment into three US vehicle assembly plants as part of a sweeping plan to expand domestic manufacturing and shift some production from Mexico to the United States. The automaker said this move would allow it to build more than 2 million vehicles annually in the US, and it would include the addition of gas-powered Chevrolet Blazer and Equinox production at plants in Tennessee and Kansas starting in 2027.

While the company did not specify the fate of its Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico, there’s talk that Blazer production will fully move to the US, while Equinox production in the US will be in addition to existing output in Mexico for other markets.
In its release, GM said the decision reflects its commitment to US workers and manufacturing and directly responds to evolving market conditions and the impact of the Trump administration’s newly enacted 25% tariffs on imported vehicles and auto parts.
In a statement, GM CEO Mary Barra said, “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 US and to support American jobs. We’re focused on giving customers choice and offering a broad range of vehicles they love.”
