GM's Factory ZEro

[Lowell]

We all know it as the "Poletown Plant", the GM plant that supplanted Dodge Main and, controversially took down the Poletown Community with it, while preserving the Beth Olem Cemetery. Then, for a brief time a couple of years ago, Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly [its actual name ask D-Ham] appeared doomed to closure.

Instead it is now stepping into the future under the banner of Factory Zero where it "will be the epicenter for GM's vision for an all-electric future when GM starts making the 2022 GMC Hummer electric pickup there late next year. The self-driving Cruise Origin car will follow, then several yet-to-be-named EVs."

This is great to see a Detroit plant again on the cutting edge of manufacturing and the future of transportation, something missing since the Model T days.

“We're the epicenter for zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion for the company,” Quick said, referring to the company's vision with electric and self-driving cars.
