General Motors (GM) has announced it plans to invest $4 billion over the next two years to expand production of gas and electric vehicles in the U.S. Facilities in Michigan, Kansas and Tennessee will add finished vehicle production capabilities, giving the company the ability to build over two million vehicles domestically each year.

“We believe the future of transportation will be driven by American innovation and manufacturing expertise,” says GM Chair and CEO Mary Barra. “Today’s announcement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to build vehicles in the U.S and to support American jobs.”

This announcement comes just weeks after the company said it would invest $888 million in its Tonawanda Propulsion Plant to build new sixth-generation V-8 engines.

The United Auto Workers union praised GM's announcement, saying it will bring good jobs back to the U.S. and help to rebuild the domestic auto industry.

“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,” said UAW President Shawn Fain. “We have excess manufacturing capacity at our existing plants, and auto companies can easily bring good union jobs back to the U.S. They can prove the naysayers wrong by investing in our communities and putting workers before corporate greed. GM is showing that it can be done.”
