Dive Brief:

General Motors is investing $275 million into its Spring Hill Manufacturing Plant in Tennessee to support the automaker’s 2.7L inline 4-cylinder engine program for full-size and midsize trucks and for the launch of a future internal-combustion-engine Cadillac model, the automaker announced in a June 24 press release.

Roughly $150 million of the amount will support the future Cadillac model, which will bring the number of vehicles produced at the plant to five.

The remaining $125M investment will be used to refurbish equipment, extend the life of GM’s 2.7L engine program and support ongoing production of an engine for Chevrolet and GMC trucks, including the Colorado, Canyon, Silverado and Sierra, per the release.
