GM Canada to invest up to $1.3 billion at the Oshawa Assembly Plant, hiring 1,800 Delivering one of the fastest plant launches in GM history, General Motors is bringing pickup production back to the Oshawa Assembly Plant. GM’s planned investment of up to $1.3 billion at the Oshawa Assembly Plant is expected to result in the hiring of 1,800 hourly workers. The plant will include a new body shop and flexible assembly module, to support a fast response to
strong customer demand for GM’s new family of pickup trucks. Oshawa Assembly has been retooled in record time to be one of the most flexible and advanced of its kind in the industry. Oshawa began shipping trucks to dealers in December 2021. Pickups are GM’s largest and most important market segment in Canada and across the continent. They also help fund GM’s transition to the electric, autonomous and highly connected future.
“General Motors has been an integral part of the Oshawa community for more than 100 years. The quality work from generations of Oshawa GM workers has shaped our city for more than a century and with this announcement, that legacy will continue for years to come.” —Dan Carter, Mayor of Oshawa
