GM Canada Invests $63M at Oshawa Assembly for Truck Production
GM's $63 million upgrade at Oshawa plant supports next-gen full-sized gas pickups and brings total investment there to $1.5 billion since 2020, CVMA says.
- On Feb. 18, GM Canada announced a $63 million investment in Oshawa Assembly to upgrade stamping for next-generation gas-powered full-size pickups and enhance service-parts capacity.
- After the shift cuts in January, which caused about 500 direct layoffs, GM's new $63 million spending builds on the $280 million refit, totaling C$1.5 billion since 2020.
- The plant produced 135,800 pickups in 2025 and builds Chevrolet Silverado light and heavy-duty full-size pickups on its two remaining shifts.
