DETROIT—General Motors is doubling down on internal combustion engine (ICE) production. It’s investing $830 million in three sites. The investment includes some production work recently started at these sites in Michigan and Ohio, as well as projects that will be quickly implemented to support the launch of next generation full-size pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles.

    The three facilities affected include:

• Romulus Propulsion Systems, which is receiving $300 million to increase its capacity to produce 10-speed transmissions, which are used in GM’s most popular products, including full-size trucks and SUVs.
• Toledo Propulsion Systems, which is receiving a new $40 million investment to support capacity increases in 10-speed transmission for light-duty trucks, adding to $40 million investment announced in March.
• Saginaw Metal Casting Operations, which is receiving $150 million to increase head casting volume for Gen 6 engines, supporting next-generation full-size pickup trucks and Corvettes.

“By investing in these plants, we’re investing in our people and the communities they call home,” says Mike Trevorrow, GM senior vice president of global manufacturing. “The work our teams do in Romulus, Toledo and Saginaw Metal supports families, strengthens local businesses and fuels economic growth across the country.
