GM Canada will be coordinating production between its Ingersoll CAMI plant and Oshawa Assembly Plant to increase production of the GMC Terrain and Chevrolet Equinox, adding 700 jobs likely starting October.
To meet growing customer demand for these vehicles, GM plans to add a third shift at its Oshawa Assembly Plant to support new Equinox production currently produced at GM's CAMI Automotive plant in Ingersoll, Ontario along with Terrain.
CAMI's Body Shop capacity will be expanded to produce extra Equinox units beyond that plant's existing capacity to paint and assemble them. These body assemblies will be shipped to Oshawa for paint and final assembly alongside the current Chevrolet Impala production. The plan also enables CAMI to increase GMC Terrain volumes. (SB)
