General Motors announced plans to relocate production of the Chevrolet Blazer and Equinox from its Ramos Arizpe, Mexico facility back to manufacturing plants in Michigan and Ohio. The move, which begins in early 2026, is expected to add approximately 3,200 direct jobs and enable a 15% increase in annual light‐truck output at GM’s Bowling Green and Lansing sites. Company executives attribute the decision to recent trade measures that have effectively raised costs for imported vehicles, redirecting assembly investment into U.S. factories for the first time since 2018.

GM’s joint ventures in China reported nearly 1 million new energy vehicle (NEV) sales in 2025, marking a 22% year‐over‐year increase and representing just over 50% of total deliveries. Strong consumer demand for the Buick Velite and Cadillac LYRIQ models propelled combined market share in the Chinese NEV segment to 6.8%, up from 5.4% in 2024. The company also launched two new battery‐electric crossovers in Q4 2025, contributing to a 30% rise in year‐end production capacity at its SAIC-GM and FAW-GM plants.

GM confirmed it will consolidate its global headquarters into a 200,000-square-foot office at Detroit’s Hudson’s building, down from nearly 500,000 square feet spread across multiple campuses. CEO Mary Barra cited improved collaboration and operational efficiency as key benefits, projecting annual savings of $45 million in real estate and facility costs. The company also recorded a $7.1 billion non-cash charge in Q4 2025 related to its electric vehicle program, along with layoffs of 3,400 workers across North American EV production lines, as part of efforts to streamline its EV platform and accelerate the transition to profitable full-size battery-electric trucks and SUVs.
