• In order to meet growing customer demand for Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models, GM is implementing a unique plan to add a third shift at the Oshawa Assembly Plant to support new Equinox production there. The Equinox and Terrain are currently produced at GM’s CAMI Automotive plant in Ingersoll, Ontario. Under the plan, CAMI’s Body Shop capacity will be expanded to produce extra Chevrolet Equinox units beyond the plant’s existing capacity to paint and assemble them. These Equinox body assemblies will then be shipped to the Oshawa plant (about 150 miles) for paint and final assembly alongside the current Chevrolet Impala production. “This plan for CAMI and Oshawa allows us to meet customer demand for hot products while avoiding a potential production over-capacity situation by creatively using our assets and facilities,” said Mark Reuss, president of GM North America. The third shift to support Equinox production in Oshawa will be added in October and is expected to return approximately 600 employees to the plant. At CAMI, all laid off employees will soon be recalled and the additional body shop volume is expected to result in the need for approximately 70 new jobs at CAMI by August of this year.
