GM Adds Sixth Day at Michigan Plant to Boost Heavy-Duty Truck Output
GM will add a sixth day at Flint Assembly in June to meet demand for heavy-duty pickups without increasing workforce, with sales up 12% for Silverado and 9% for Sierra in 2025.
- Starting in June, General Motors will operate Flint Assembly six days a week, adding overtime shifts to meet strong demand for heavy-duty Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups.
- The Flint Assembly plant currently runs three shifts across five days weekly, with production increases targeting the 2500 and 3500 versions of the automaker's heavy-duty trucks.
- GM spokesman Kevin Kelly said, "General Motors is making strategic adjustments to Flint Assembly's production schedule to align with strong customer demand," noting no plans to increase the plant's about 4,200-person workforce.
- Despite gasoline prices climbing to around $4 a gallon nationally following the war in Iran, demand remains strong; GM sold about 320,000 heavy-duty Silverado and Sierra pickups in the United States last year.
- GM has been increasing production in the United States to avoid tariff impacts and has shifted capacity away from electric vehicles in favor of gas-powered models.
