General Motors spending $691 million on St. Catharines engine plant
The upgrade will make St. Catharines GM’s third North American plant to build the sixth-generation engine for full-size trucks and SUVs.
- General Motors announced a $691 million investment in its St. Catharines Propulsion Plant to support production of sixth-generation V-8 engines for full-size trucks and SUVs.
- The Ontario facility becomes the third North America site for V-8 engine production, joining existing manufacturing operations in Buffalo and Flint.
- General Motors Canada President Jack Uppal confirmed the plant's role in core programs, while spokesperson Ariane Souza Pereira called it "a proof point of GM's commitment to Canada."
- The investment follows operational challenges at other facilities, including the idling of the Ingersoll CAMI assembly plant last year and a shift reduction at Oshawa, Ont., affecting 500 workers.
- While General Motors targets high demand for full-size trucks, McMaster University professor Greig Mordue noted the industry faces uncertainty from volatile EV demand and competition from Chinese automakers.
