Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly, Automotive assembly plant in Wayne County, Michigan.
Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly is an automotive factory in Michigan that specializes in making electric vehicles for General Motors. The facility produces several models, including the GMC Hummer EV and Chevrolet Silverado EV.
The site started as a Dodge factory in 1911 and was later converted into a General Motors assembly plant. In the 1980s, the facility went through extensive redevelopment to enable modern production methods.
The name Factory Zero reflects a fresh start in the region's automotive manufacturing story. Today, the plant shapes how locals view industrial production in their community.
The plant is not open to public tours since it is an active production facility. Visitors can see the buildings from outside and explore the area, but must remain respectful of ongoing operations.
The historic Beth Olem cemetery sits within the plant grounds and was preserved during the factory's redevelopment. The site is accessible to the public only on specific days throughout the year out of respect for this sacred place.
