The provincial and federal governments say they will each spend $259 million to help General Motors Canada support and transform the company’s Oshawa and CAMI manufacturing plants.
According to a release, the production of a light-duty Chevy Silverado pickup production, and a third shift will be added at the Oshawa plant.
Premier Doug Ford said this will create 2,600 new jobs since operations resumed at the Oshawa plant.
The release also said the investment will also “secure electric commercial vehicle production at the CAMI plant in Ingersoll.”
The government said this means the plant will become GM’s “designated EV hub for its new all-electric commercial vehicle brand BrightDrop,” and will be the first “full-scale electric vehicle production facility in Canada.”
