GM will invest $788.7 million for an all-new, high-efficiency engine program, as well as projects to modernize the vehicle programs at its Spring Hill manufacturing plant, creating 792 and retaining 16 jobs.
Since 2010, GM has announced investments of more than $2 billion for the Spring Hill operations. This includes a $148 million investment announced in February to repurpose flexible machining and assembly equipment to build V8 engines.
According to Cindy Estrada, vice president and director of the UAW General Motors Department, this investment helps secure a bright future for its workforce. Construction will begin in May and will last several years.
Spring Hill manufacturing plant opened in 1990 and produced Saturn vehicles until March 2007. It produced the Chevrolet Traverse from September 2008 until November 2009, and the Chevrolet Equinox from September 2012 until October 2015. Currently, the site operations consist of a flexible vehicle assembly plant producing the Cadillac XT5 and the GMC Acadia, an engine plant making 4-cylinder engines, a stamping plant, a body shop, a paint shop and two polymer injection molding operations. Engines and stampings are supplied to various GM assembly plants globally. The complex will begin building small block V8 engines by the end of 2016.
