General Motors announced plans to invest more than $2 billion in the Lansing region over the next several years, including a previously announced $1.25 billion to prepare Lansing Grand River Assembly for future vehicle production.

GM also revealed that it intends to prepare its Lansing Delta Township Assembly site for future hybrid-electric vehicle production. The automaker will share details about nameplates and timing closer to launch.

To support that work, GM and the U.S. Department of Energy will restructure a previously awarded Domestic Manufacturing Conversion Grant, with those funds going to Lansing Delta Township for future hybrid production.

Lansing Delta Township currently builds the Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia, all three-row SUVs. The plant also celebrated its 20th anniversary this year, following a 2025 that saw its team build more than 291,000 vehicles—the highest annual production in the site’s history.

GM's Lansing plans align with the company's broader investment in U.S. operations. This year, GM plans to spend approximately $9 billion across its domestic manufacturing footprint and more than $7 billion on research and development.

Other investments in the past two years include projects at Orion Assembly in Michigan, Spring Hill Assembly in Tennessee, Fairfax Assembly in Kansas and supporting plants. Once fully scaled, GM expects these investments to increase its domestic production to more than 2 million vehicles.
