en.Wedoany.com Reported - General Motors (GM) produces five Chevrolet models across its three plants in Mexico: the Blazer EV, Equinox EV, Equinox, Silverado, and Cheyenne. These plants, located in Ramos Arizpe, Coahuila; Silao, Guanajuato; and San Luis Potosí, serve as the company's primary industrial hubs in Mexico.

The Ramos Arizpe plant in Coahuila became GM's first electric vehicle manufacturing facility in Mexico in 2023 and currently produces the Chevrolet Blazer EV, Chevrolet Equinox EV, and Cadillac OPTIQ. The plant integrates stamping, assembly, painting, engine, and transmission production, employing more than 5,000 workers.

The San Luis Potosí plant produces the Chevrolet Equinox. The plant began operations in 2008 and has since remained integrated into the company's North American production network.

The Silao plant in Guanajuato produces the Chevrolet Silverado and Chevrolet Cheyenne, two of GM's flagship pickup models for the North American market. The plant also produces the GMC Sierra as part of the company's large pickup manufacturing strategy.

In summary, Chevrolet's production footprint in Mexico is distributed as follows: the Blazer EV and Equinox EV are built in Ramos Arizpe, the Equinox in San Luis Potosí, and the Silverado and Cheyenne in Silao. Additionally, GM operates manufacturing operations in Toluca, State of Mexico, focused on components such as engines and aluminum parts.

Chevrolet's production footprint in Mexico will expand further starting in 2027, when GM begins assembling the Chevrolet Groove at Ramos Arizpe, followed by the introduction of the Chevrolet Aveo. This project is part of a $1 billion investment plan in GM's Mexican operations.

The addition of these models will further strengthen Mexico's role in GM's manufacturing system. Currently, GM's operations in Mexico already cover pickups, fuel-powered SUVs, and electric vehicles, and the expansion is expected to also increase the company's output for the domestic market.
