General Motors will try to consolidate its US range with the introduction of a new model. The vehicle is unknown, but what we know is that the car will be produced in GM factory in Orion Township.
 
According to GM, the model is the most important in the plant’s 32-year history. Investment in Orion totals $962 million since the UAW and GM worked together to reopen the previously idled plant in 2010. Now, for the new model, GM will invest $245 million and add 300 new jobs at its Orion Assembly plant to support launching the all-new vehicle program.
 
This latest investment comes just seven months after the announcement of a $160-million investment to launch Chevrolet’s game-changing Bolt EV, which is expected to achieve more than 200 miles of range on a single electric charge.
 
Today’s announcement is a part of the $5.4 billion GM has announced it will invest in U.S. manufacturing over the next three years. Approximately $3.1 billion of the $5.4 billion has been identified, leaving $2.3 billion to be announced by year end.
