General Motors announced an investment plan tied to the 20th anniversary of Lansing Delta Township Assembly and said its broader Lansing‑region investments will top $2 billion over the coming years. That regional total includes a previously disclosed $1.25 billion commitment for Lansing Grand River Assembly and additional funding directed toward Delta Township.

GM said it intends to prepare Lansing Delta Township to build hybrid‑electric vehicles, though specific nameplates and production timing will be revealed closer to launch. The plant currently produces three‑row SUVs—the Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia—and reached a company‑high output of more than 291,000 vehicles in 2025.

The company also reported that it and the U.S. Department of Energy are restructuring a Domestic Manufacturing Conversion Grant so the award will support hybrid production at Lansing Delta Township. For Michigan enthusiasts, the announcement points to sustained investment in local assembly capabilities and a transition pathway toward electrified drivetrains at a major Mid‑Michigan plant.

What’s next: GM will disclose specific models and the production schedule at a later date as conversion and investment plans move forward.
