GM’s Factory Zero to Build Silverado EV
Factory Zero, which will have capacity to assemble roughly 250,000 BEVs annually and employ 2,200, is to build the Cruise Origin autonomous vehicle and the ’22 GMC Hummer pickup, ’24 Hummer SUV and all-electric Silverado, GM President Mark Reuss says.
General Motors confirms it will build a battery-electric version of the Chevrolet Silverado fullsize pickup at the automaker’s Factory Zero assembly plant bordering Detroit and Hamtramck, MI.
GM President Mark Reuss says the announcement underscores the automaker’s ongoing commitment to an all-electric future. Modifications to the plant, which started out as a replacement for the Cadillac Div.’s home plant 40 years ago, will cost GM $2.2 billion, Reuss says during the virtual ceremony announcing plans for the electric Silverado.
