GM Canada says it has reached a tentative deal with Unifor that if ratified will see it invest $1 billion to transform its CAMI plant in Ingersoll, Ont., to make commercial electric vehicles.

Unifor National President Jerry Dias says along with the significant investment the agreement will mean new products, new jobs and job security for workers.

A GM spokeswoman says in a statement that the plan is to build BrightDrop EV 600s -- an all-new GM business announced this week at the Consumer Electronics Show that will offer a cleaner way for delivery and logistics companies to move goods more efficiently.

mini_bubbly Canada is going to be a player in Battery and electric car production!

What a joke! Who is going to be able to afford an electric car! Oh and gas is cheaper!

does GM get the same deal Ford got from onpoli ?

Canadian economy needs some good news.

This is wonderful news.

kuku27 I have no doubt about plant being ultra modern but car must be tough, batteries on single charge minimum 800 miles and speed up to 90mph

One last hurrah.

A conversion seems more costly than building new doesnt it? Maybe I'm just naive to the real cost of a modern or futuristic electric car plant.

I thought unions were bad?

Great news!!!!
