General Motors says it will invest $2.2B to convert an ageing Detroit assembly plant into the manufacturing heart of its “all-electric future.”

What is expected to be called the Hummer pickup will go into production in late 2021. It will be followed in early 2022 by a version of the Cruise Origin, the fully driverless ride-sharing vehicle announced last week by Cruise, GM’s autonomous vehicle subsidiary.

The $2.2 billion that GM will spend on the Detroit-Hamtramck plant is part of a broader investment of $3 billion authorized. That includes a number of other projects supporting the automaker’s aggressive plan to “electrify” its vehicles. Late last year it said it would set up a factory in Lordstown, Ohio to build batteries, a joint venture with South Korea’s LG Chem worth $2.3 billion.

Some will be targeted primarily at the U.S., others at overseas markets, such as China. Many will be marketed worldwide.

I love how people are saying “trump is gonna take credit for this”. You’re damn right he is, as he should. GM struggled, even after the bailout and forced merger. This wouldn’t have happened if Hillary won the election

It’s about time.
