GM Fuels Future with Electric Transition
General Motors announced it will halt production of the gas-powered Cadillac XT4 in January to focus on electric vehicles at its Kansas plant. The company is investing $390 million to produce the next-generation Chevrolet Bolt EVs, discontinuing the Chevrolet Malibu in the process.
General Motors announced a strategic shift in its manufacturing operations, revealing plans to cease production of the gas-powered Cadillac XT4 in January. This move accompanies GM's broader transition to electric vehicles, a decision underscored by a substantial investment of $390 million at its Kansas assembly plant.
The Kansas facility will become the new hub for manufacturing next-generation Chevrolet Bolt EVs, signaling GM's commitment to sustainable automotive technologies. As part of this transition, the automaker will also discontinue production of the Chevrolet Malibu in the coming weeks.
Initially, GM intended to produce both the Bolt EV and XT4 on the same assembly line upon resuming operations in 2025. However, the updated strategy will prioritize exclusive production of the Bolt EV, further aligning with industry trends toward electrification.
