$1.5 billion in investment since 2020, reinforcing Oshawa's continued role in GM's full-size truck portfolio

OSHAWA, ON, Feb. 18, 2026 /CNW/ - GM Canada today announced a new C$63 million investment in Oshawa Assembly to upgrade stamping operations, supporting preparations to build the next generation of gas-powered full-size pickups and enhancing capability in the service parts business. This investment builds on the C$280 million announced in June 2023, bringing GM's total investment in Oshawa since 2020 to C$1.5 billion.

"This additional investment underscores Oshawa's importance in GM's full-size truck portfolio," said Jack Uppal, president and managing director of GM Canada. "With a long history of building trucks in Canada, the talented team at Oshawa Assembly will continue to play a critical role for years to come in delivering the pickups our customers know and trust."

Oshawa Assembly currently builds Chevrolet Silverado light and heavy-duty full-size pickups on two shifts and is GM's only North American facility producing both models on the same line.
