GM Commits $1 Billion to Mexico for 2026–2027 to Strengthen Local Manufacturing

The company casts the plan as navigating U.S. trade pressure, with project specifics to be disclosed later.

Overview

  • GM says the funding will reinforce its Mexican manufacturing operations and support future projects focused on domestic demand.
  • Company leaders reaffirm a long‑term presence in Mexico following prior reports suggesting potential production shifts to the United States.
  • GM closed 2025 with 198,153 vehicles sold in Mexico for a 12.2% market share and second place, as December sales rose 11.2% on gains at Chevrolet and its premium brands.
  • The announcement comes as the United States applies tariffs of up to 25% on vehicles that do not meet USMCA rules of origin and as Trump questions the trade pact’s relevance.
  • GM operates plants in Ramos Arizpe, Silao, San Luis Potosí and Toluca, and it plans to release deployment details for the investment at a later date.
