The latest reports indicate GM is ending production of the Chevrolet Silverado MD lineup (4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD) by September 30, 2026, as part of not renewing its manufacturing agreement with International Trucks. Production at the Springfield, Ohio plant will wind down this fall, with the CV Series line ending earlier in September and Silverado MD following later in the month. The move marks GM’s exit from the medium-duty segment that previously combined Silverado MD with International’s CV Series, and it has broad implications for the Ohio plant and related supply chains. If you’d like, I can pull the most current articles and summarize any updates as they’re published.
Key points from recent reporting:
- GM will discontinue the Silverado 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD, along with select Express and Savana cutaway variants, at the end of their agreement with International Motors (now set to conclude September 30, 2026).[3]
- Production end dates are staggered, with the CV Series ending on September 10, 2026, followed by the Chevrolet Silverado MD variants.[1][3]
- The Springfield, Ohio plant has been central to these programs and is undergoing restructuring tied to the contract conclusion and the plant’s sale to Roshel.[1]
