GM Announced a Landmark U.S. Manufacturing Investment
In an announcement late on June 10, one of the most prominent Detroit-based automakers, General Motors, announced its landmark investment plans that would catalyze auto manufacturing in the United States. The automaker announced plans to invest about $4 billion over the next two years to support its U.S. manufacturing plants and their efforts to produce gas and electric vehicles. The automaker did not specify how much money each plant would receive, but it said that the $4 billion in question would help adapt the Orion Assembly in Michigan, Fairfax Assembly in Kansas, and Spring Hill Manufacturing in Tennessee for future vehicles in its pipeline. General Motors plans to retool its Orion Assembly plant to produce gasoline-powered full-size SUVs and light-duty pickups starting in early 2027 in response to strong demand for these vehicles. Originally, Orion was set to be reconfigured for electric vehicle production, but GM has announced that its Factory Zero electric vehicle plant in Detroit will be the dedicated facility for manufacturing the Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, Hummer EV, and Cadillac Escalade IQ. GM's Fairfax plant will continue to be retooled to produce the next generation of the Chevrolet Bolt EV, with production expected to begin by the end of the year. However, the automaker announced that Fairfax will share production duties with the internal combustion version of the Chevy Equinox in mid-2027 and also focus on building the next generation of affordable EVs. Furthermore, GM also stated that some of its funding will be allocated to the Spring Hill plant, where it plans to manufacture the gasoline-powered Chevrolet Blazer in 2027, alongside Cadillac's gas-powered XT5 crossover and the Cadillac Lyriq and Vistiq EVs. General Motors's multi-billion-dollar investment in U.S. factories comes at a time when President Donald Trump's tariffs on vehicle imports are putting direct pressure on the auto industry. Previously, GM indicated that these tariffs would cost the company between $4 billion and $5 billion this year, prompting executives to revise GM's full-year earnings guidance. According to GM sources who spoke with Automotive News and CNBC, production of the gas-powered Equinox will move to the Fairfax plant to supplement the current output in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. This change means that the Equinox manufactured in Mexico will be designated for overseas markets. Production of the Blazer will also shift from Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, where it is currently produced alongside the Chevy Blazer EV and the Ultium-powered Honda Prologue. GM said in its statement that this investment will help it reach the capacity to build more than 2 million cars per year in the U.S. "We believe the future of transportation will be driven by American innovation and manufacturing expertise," GM CEO Mary Barra said in a statement. "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." The investment announcement has been viewed as a win by prominent labor leaders, who see it as a direct reinvestment in a unionized labor force. In a statement, UAW President Shawn Fain, who previously aired direct support of Trump's tariffs, hailed the levies as a step forward for American labor. "GM's decision to invest billions in American plants and prioritize U.S. workers is exactly why we spoke up in favor of these auto tariffs," Fain said in a June 11 statement. "The writing is on the wall: the race to the bottom is over. We have excess manufacturing capacity at our existing plants, and auto companies can easily bring good union jobs back to the U.S." In remarks during a Deutsche Bank automotive investor conference on June 11, GM CFO Paul Jacobson confirmed that the automaker's multi-billion-dollar decision was made in response to Trump's tariffs, adding that though it's a lot of money, it can invest in what's next for the auto industry. "A lot of the fear from talking to investors was that the policies that are being enacted by the administration were going to create a significant run on capital," Jacobson said. "Four billion dollars is a lot of money, but I think we've been able to thread that in ways that are capitalizing on the next generation of vehicles coming in, to do it efficiently, not building walls that we don't need to build where we can fill plants up, and also keep our capital forecast in line and consistent with where we've seen it." At the same time, the company is relying on its flexibility. He pointed out that the improvements at the facilities at Fairfax and Spring Hill will be designed to adjust output based on customer demand for either gasoline or electric vehicles. "That optionality is really important and critical for us as we move forward, being able to respond to where EV demand is going to be," Jacobson said. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc.

Major American car company makes $4 billion tariff move
When President Donald Trump introduced his 25% auto tariffs earlier this year, he found an unlikely ally in the auto industry. United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain, repesenting the largest auto worker union in the country, is a card-carrying liberal. He campaigned for former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris in her run against Trump and called Trump a scab, a derogatory term for a worker who crosses a picket line during a strike. He also warned that a Trump presidency would be bad for the country. Related: Big 3 Auto CEO backs Trump tariffs despite huge costs But since Trump has taken office, Fain's tune has changed. It turns out that Trump's tariff policy is actually really good for the U.S. auto workers that Fain represents. "We're in a triage situation," Fain told ABC earlier this year. "Tariffs are an attempt to stop the bleeding from the hemorrhaging of jobs in America for the last 33 years." The U.S. auto industry, including manufacturing and dealerships, employed over 2 million Americans last year. Over 1 million of those jobs were in vehicle and parts manufacturing. The U.S. auto industry peaked in the 1970s, producing about 10 million vehicles annually. Despite the population growing by more than 60% since then, car manufacturers produced just 10.6 million vehicles in the U.S. in 2023. Tariffs incentivize companies to bring production home to avoid import taxes. One of Detroit's Big 3 automakers just made a $4 billion commitment to do just that. General Motors (GM) said earlier this year that auto tariffs will wipe out between $4 billion and $5 billion in EBITDA this year. But GM CEO Mary Barra still backed the taxes, saying, "For decades now, it has not been a level playing field for us automakers globally, with either tariffs or non-tariff trade barriers. So I think tariffs is one tool that the administration can use to level the playing field." However, only 52% of the 2.7 million vehicles GM sold globally last year were "made in the USA." Of the Big 3, GM isn't even ahead of Stellantis (57%), a multinational conglomerate based in Europe, in terms of domestic production. Ford leads the way, with 77% of the cars it sells originating from the States. Related: Major automaker considers tariff move that customers will hate But this week, GM announced a move that could change all of that. GM says it plans to invest $4 billion to move its Mexico production to three plants in the U.S., including the recently closed Orion Assembly plant in its hometown of Detroit. "We believe the future of transportation will be driven by American innovation and manufacturing expertise," Barra said in a statement. "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." According to The Detroit News, GM will build full-size SUVs and light-duty pickups at the Orion plant, which closed in 2023. According to the report, the move is partly due to increased demand for high-margin SUVs and partly due to Trump's tariffs. Closing plants in Mexico and moving production to the states is a long process, and the shift in production is not expected to take effect until 2027. GM isn't the only company facing a billion-dollar charge from U.S. tariffs. Ford revealed that the tariffs will shave at least $1.5 billion off the company's EBITDA this year, but CEO Jim Farley also praised Trump's handling of tariffs. Ford "supports the administration's goal to strengthen the U.S. economy by growing manufacturing." More automotive news Major automaker considers tariff move that customers will hateToyota moves production of popular U.S. sedan to BritainCar dealers are worried, and it could be great news for car buyers One reason Ford supports the tariffs is that it already has a much stronger domestic production base than its domestic competitors. "Last year, we assembled over 300,000 more vehicles in the U.S. than our closest competitor. That includes 100% of all our full-size trucks," CEO Jim Farley said during the company's last earnings call. "In this new with the largest U.S. footprint will have a big advantage, and boy, is that true for Ford," he added. "It puts us in the pole position."

Trump warns of auto tariff hikes to spur U.S. investment
-- U.S. President Donald Trump signaled Thursday that he might increase auto tariffs soon to encourage carmakers to boost their investments in the United States. "I might go up with that tariff in the not too distant future," Trump said during a White House event. "The higher you go, the more likely it is they build a plant here." Automakers have been asking the White House to lower the 25% tariffs Trump previously imposed on vehicles. The Detroit Three automakers have expressed opposition to a deal that would reduce tariffs on British car imports while maintaining them on vehicles produced in Canada or Mexico. Trump pointed to several recent investment announcements as evidence of his policy's effectiveness. These include General Motors (NYSE:GM)' plan announced this week to invest $4 billion in three U.S. plants and relocate some SUV production from Mexico to the United States. He also mentioned Hyundai (OTC:HYMTF)'s $21 billion investment announced in March, which includes a new steel plant in the U.S. "They wouldn't have invested 10 cents if we didn't have tariffs, including for manufacturing American steel, which is doing great," Trump said.
