'GM's Buffalo plant has been in operation for 87 years and is continuing to innovate the engines we build there to make them more fuel efficient and higher performing, which will help us deliver world-class trucks and SUVs to our customers for years to come.' The company invested $70 million in the plant in 2020 as part of an effort to ramp up production of Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. Tonawanda is the second GM propulsion plant to make sixth generation V-8 engines. The automaker in 2023 spent another $500 million to get its Flint Engine plant ready to make engines that the company says will be 'stronger performance than today's engines while benefiting fuel economy and reducing emissions,' citing new combustion and thermal management innovations. 'This investment marks an exciting new chapter for our plant,' said Tara Wasik, plant director at Tonawanda. 'For generations, our team has demonstrated its commitment to manufacturing excellence.
