General Motors Co. will produce hybrids at its Lansing Delta Township Assembly plant near Michigan's capital, as it seeks to catch up in an electrified vehicle segment that has enjoyed strong growth this year amid rising gas prices.

The automaker declined to provide details on timing and models to be made at the plant, which now produces the GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse — all midsize SUVs. GM will invest $750 million into the factory to facilitate hybrid production.

But according to a top auto industry consultant, GM is expected to roll out hybrid versions of its Chevrolet Equinox compact crossover in 2028, full-size pickup trucks in 2029 and midsize SUVs in 2030, according to a top industry consultant.

AutoForecast Solutions Vice President Sam Fiorani predicted that GM's first mainstream hybrid offering will be the Chevy Equinox, which is currently offered as a hybrid in China, followed by full-size trucks in model year 2029 and midsize crossovers, such as the Traverse, in 2030.

GM now only sells a hybrid version of the Chevy Corvette in the United States.

"They're not going to tell you," Fiorani said of GM's hybrid plans. "This is our forecast on it, based on information we have through the industry."

CEO Mary Barra said in 2024 that GM would roll out hybrid models in 2027.

“Lansing’s strength starts with its people. Their skill and experience are why we continue to invest here,” Mike Trevorrow, GM's senior vice president of global manufacturing, said in a statement Tuesday. “We’re building on what this team does well today while preparing for what customers will need in the years ahead. That means investing in our people, our facilities, and the ability to build a broad range of vehicles.”
