Factory Zero – GM Hamtramck Plant

Retool of the General Motors Detroit-Hamtramck plant for its future in building electric and autonomous vehicles. This includes the retooling of the factory to swap out the production of engines and transmissions for electric motors and battery packs. The new facility will be called “Factory Zero” – a reference to the automaker’s corporate mantra of “zero emissions, zero crashes, and zero congestion.” The reworking of the plant includes comprehensive upgrades to the general assembly area and the paint and body shops. Upgrades include new machines, conveyors, controls, and tooling.
