BUFFALO, NY—General Motors plans to invest $888 million in its Tonawanda Propulsion plant to support production of a new line of V-8 engines for full-size trucks and SUVs. 

GM has made numerous investments in its manufacturing facilities over the past 15 years. In January 2023, the company announced a half-billion-dollar investment in its Flint Engine plant for production of V-8 engines. Today’s announcement marks the largest single investment the company has ever made in an engine plant and makes Tonawanda the second GM propulsion plant to produce this new generation of engines.

“Our significant investments in GM’s Tonawanda Propulsion plant show our commitment to strengthening American manufacturing and supporting jobs in the U.S.,” said Mary Barra, chair and CEO. “GM’s Buffalo plant has been in operation for 87 years and is continuing to innovate.”

The investment includes new machinery, equipment and tools, as well as facility renovations.
