OTTAWA, April 4 — Canada today will announce its support for General Motors Co’s multi-billion-dollar investment in two plants, including one that will produce electric commercial vehicles , a government source said.
Scott Bell, GM’s Vice President Global Chevrolet, Canada’s federal Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne and Ontario Premier Doug Ford will make an announcement about “an important investment in the future of Canada’s automotive manufacturing sector” at 11 am EST on Monday, according to a statement.
GM said early last year it would invest C$1 billion to convert its CAMI Assembly Plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, to produce its BrightDrop EV600 commercial delivery vans.
