Ford is spending around US$3 billion to expand Super Duty production, which includes US$2.3 billion to install assembly and integrated stamping operations at the Oakville facility. Those positions will be filled by workers represented by Unifor who had previously been expected to return to work in 2027 after Ford announced earlier this year it was delaying the start of electric vehicle production at the plant by two years.
The U.S. automaker had said there would be layoffs associated with the delay to its plans to spend $1.8 billion to transform the Oakville site into a hub for electric vehicle manufacturing. It says the increased production also adds around 150 jobs at the company's Windsor Engine Complex, which will manufacture more V8 engines for the Super Duty trucks.Ford Motor delays production of electric vehicles at Oakville plant until 2027More than 100 residents rescued from Mississauga, Ont.
