GM to Lay Off 1,300 Workers as Bolt EV and Camaro Production Ends

Orion Assembly plant to be converted for electric truck production, starting late 2025.

General Motors (GM) is laying off 1,300 workers at two Michigan factories due to the ending of production for the Chevrolet Bolt EV and Camaro.
The Orion Assembly plant, which is ending production of the Chevrolet Bolt EV, will lay off 945 workers, while the Lansing Grand River plant will lay off 350 workers due to the end of Chevrolet Camaro production.
GM plans to convert the Orion Assembly plant for electric truck production, which will start in late 2025.
Affected hourly employees will be offered positions at other factories.
GM's decision to delay the production of electric pickup trucks at the Orion plant by a year has affected all production workers at that plant.
