General Motors announced an investment in Oshawa Assembly to produce next-generation internal combustion engine (ICE) full size trucks. This investment builds on GM’s commitment to Canadian manufacturing, which includes more than $1.2 billion invested in the Oshawa plant in 2020. Product details and timing related to GM’s trucks are not being released at this time.
Two years ago, Oshawa Assembly delivered one of the fastest plant launches in GM history, demonstrating the flexibility and agility of the Oshawa workforce. Since it reopened, GM Canada has created 2,600 new manufacturing jobs, and thou-sands of indirect jobs at Canadian suppliers. Production has increased to three shifts, and fifty per cent of new production hires at the Oshawa plant are women.
