TOLEDO, OH—General Motors is investing $760 million in its propulsion manufacturing operations here to prepare the facility for producing drive units that will be used in future Ultium-based battery electric trucks. Toledo-built drive units are to be used primarily for Chevrolet Silverado EV, GMC Sierra EV, and GMC HUMMER EVs.
Toledo Propulsion Systems will be GM's first U.S. powertrain or propulsion-related manufacturing facility transformed for EV-related production. GM has invested more than $1.9 billion in Toledo since 2011. Renovation work at Toledo Propulsion Systems will begin this month.
