GM expands production of gas-powered SUV, trucks in Michigan

General Motors said Tuesday it will move production of a gas-powered SUV to an assembly plant in Michigan and add manufacturing of pickup trucks in its home state. "GM will begin production of the Cadillac Escalade, as well as the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light duty pickups at Orion Assembly in early 2027 to help meet continued strong customer demand," the Detroit automaker said in a statement. The Escalade is currently produced in Arlington, Texas. The Silverado and Sierra trucks are made at an assembly plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which will continue to produce the vehicles. GM said it is adding more production of the trucks to its Orion Assembly plant in Michigan because of strong demand. The move builds on GM's plans to invest $4 billion in U.S. facilities, which the automaker announced in June. That announcement came after President Donald Trump earlier this year implemented 25% tariffs on imported vehicles and 25% duties on many auto parts imported into the U.S. It also builds on the automaker's gas-powered vehicle production. The Orion Assembly plant in suburban Detroit, which is being retooled for gas products, was expected to be its second electric vehicle-exclusive plant in the U.S. CEO Mary Barra had said in 2021 that GM would exclusively offer EVs by 2035, but the automaker has since said customer demand for EVs has been slower than expected and has shifted plans to meet consumer demand.

Biggest US carmaker pauses production for best-selling trucks

America's second-favorite pickup is taking another break. General Motors has again idled its assembly plant in Silao, Mexico – this time from August 4 through August 15 – pausing production of two of its biggest moneymakers: the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. It's the second stoppage in as many months. The same factory also halted production for two weeks in early July. The Silao plant is just one of several that build the full-size pickup trucks. They're also assembled in Indiana, Michigan, and Ontario, Canada. It's not unusual for automakers to temporarily pause production of popular models, especially to retool assembly lines or manage inventory levels. 'Scheduled down weeks at GM Silao are part of a standard operating process focused on optimizing production at our Manufacturing Complex,' the company told But a second two-week shutdown is raising eyebrows, particularly for the Silverado, which sold more than 540,000 units in 2024 – second only to Ford's F-Series pickups. The Sierra is no sales slouch either. The higher-end truck, that comes with more exterior chrome, more luxury interior finishes, and a mechanically similar power center, sold over 340,000 copies last year. Neither car has a reported inventory glut. They also don't have any major reported changes coming to the design that would necessitate a production pause. As of May, Chevrolet had a 65-day supply of vehicles on dealer lots, just under the 70-day industry average. GMC's supply was slightly higher at 77 days. But broader geopolitical and economic factors might be playing into GM's decision, analysts warn. GM has said it is reevaluating how it will build some of its cars in the face of President Donald Trump's 25 percent automotive tariffs . Mary Barra (pictured), the company's top boss, has said the company expects to pay between $4 billion and $5 billion in tariffs this year. She said the automaker doesn't have plans to pass those costs on to consumers. To reduce those costs, GM is investing heavily in stateside manufacturing. The company is spending $888 million to retool an engine plant in Buffalo, New York, for a new line of V8 engines for large trucks and SUVs. GM is also spending about $4 billion to move production of its top-selling Chevy SUVs, the Equinox and Blazer, from Mexico to plants in Kansas and Kentucky. Last year, GM built 889,072 cars in Mexican factories. Over time, independent experts warned that the move to the US could show up on the popular automaker's sticker prices. 'The challenge for GM will be the higher labor costs,' David Whiston, an automotive analyst at Morningstar, previously told 'The higher costs might need to be passed down to dealers and consumers.' Still Whiston said the company will likely remain profitable this year, despite the major investments and tariff costs. The moves also come as GM doubles down on its EV consumer fleet. In the US, the company has axed two underperforming Cadillac SUVs from production. The company plans on transforming both plants into battery assembly lines, especially for its upcoming re-release of the Chevy Bolt.

GM pickup-truck plant in Mexico pauses output for several weeks

General Motors is pausing production at a pickup-truck plant in Mexico for several weeks, crimping output of its top-selling vehicles, people familiar with the situation told Reuters, and the company confirmed the information when asked. GM's assembly complex in Silao, Mexico, where the company builds the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups, was down for the first two weeks of July, and is scheduled to be idled again the weeks of August 4 and 11, two people familiar with the matter said. GM did not confirm the precise schedule. "Scheduled down weeks at GM Silao are part of a standard operating process focused on optimizing production at our manufacturing complex," GM said in response to a Reuters inquiry. The Silverado and mechanically similar Sierra are by far GM's top sellers in the US, and major profit generators. GM also builds the Silverado and Sierra at factories in Fort Wayne, Indiana; Flint, Michigan and Ontario, Canada. It is common for automakers to halt factory work to perform maintenance or adjust assembly lines for model changes. Most of GM's US factories were not operating last week as part of a usual down week for the July Fourth holiday. Still, several weeks of downtime is unusual for a factory that makes GM's most popular models. Pickups are the biggest money makers for GM, Ford and Ram-maker Stellantis , and their truck plants often run around the clock. GM sold 278,599 Silverado trucks in the first half of 2025, a 2 per cent increase from the year-ago period. The automaker sold 166,409 Sierra trucks in the same timeframe, a 12 per cent increase from the first half of 2024. US President Donald Trump's trade war has disrupted supply chains and factory work for automakers and parts suppliers in recent months. Some car companies have shifted production plans to mitigate the impact of Trump's tariffs on imported cars. China's retaliatory restrictions on magnets and other parts that include rare-earth metals - used broadly in car components - also have scrambled operations.
