On the Dash:
- GM is putting $275 million into its Spring Hill manufacturing complex in Tennessee.
- The money supports a future Cadillac ICE product and the 2.7L turbo engine program.
- Spring Hill will become a five-vehicle operation once the new Cadillac arrives.
General Motors is making a combined $275 million investment across its Spring Hill, Tennessee manufacturing complex, according to a company press release. The money splits across two operations at the site.
GM is investing more than $150 million in Spring Hill Assembly to support a future Cadillac internal-combustion product. The release said the addition will make Spring Hill a five-vehicle operation once the new model arrives.
The company is putting another $125 million into Spring Hill Engine. That money will refurbish equipment and extend the life of the 2.7L turbo engine program. The engine powers several Chevrolet and GMC trucks, including the Colorado, Canyon, Silverado and Sierra.
The release framed the announcement as a sign of long-term confidence in the complex and its workforce. GM said the investment covers both vehicle and propulsion operations at the site.
The Spring Hill spending is part of a larger domestic push. GM said it will spend roughly $9 billion across its U.S. manufacturing footprint this year. The company will also spend more than $7 billion on U.S. research and development.
The latest investment builds on several years of GM activity in Spring Hill. In 2020, the company announced a $2 billion investment in Spring Hill Assembly. In 2021, GM and LG Energy Solution announced a $2.3 billion EV battery plant at the site.
In 2025, GM said Spring Hill would add Chevrolet Blazer production starting in 2027. That production joins the Cadillac LYRIQ, LYRIQ-V, VISTIQ and next-generation XT5 already planned for the complex.
