Ammann, the former president of General Motors Co., which largely owns Cruise, revealed the production timeline for the Cruise Origin while speaking with Financial Times at its Future of the Car summit.
The reveal is the first time Cruise has given a solid timeframe for production of the Origin, which will be built at GM s Factory Zero at Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Center, where the new GMC Hummer EV and the electric version of the Chevrolet Silverado will be built.

General Motors has renamed its Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly plant in Michigan ‘Factory Zero’ as it transforms the site into its first dedicated electric vehicle plant.
“General Motors today announced its Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Center will be known as Factory Zero, reconfigured to an all-electric vehicle assembly plant,” the automaker said in a prepared statement. “The name Factory Zero reflects the significance of this facility in advancing GM’s zero-crashes, zero-emissions and zero-congestion future”
GM is investing a massive $2.2 billion into Factory Zero for retooling and various other upgrades – the single largest investment the company has ever made into a manufacturing facility at one time. Both the GMC Hummer EV SUT and SUV will be built at Factory Zero, along with the new Cruise Origin robotaxi. Other GM EVs will also be built at the plant, the automaker said, but it has not confirmed any beyond the Hummer EV and Origin.
