The company’s press release confirmed that Stewart will be joined by senior federal and provincial government officials at a 1 p.m. press conference at the Stellantis Center for Automotive Research and Development on Rhodes Drive.
Sources told Star that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Prime Minister Doug Ford are expected to attend.
Numerous sources have also confirmed that the expected announcement of new investments will cost several hundred million dollars of local investment.
Stellantis has already pledged up to $ 1.5 billion to upgrade the Windsor assembly plant to produce new models of electric vehicles, as well as updated versions of the Pacific minivan. The company also confirmed to Unifor employees its intention to rebuild the plant in three shifts after the facility is converted to produce electric vehicles.
Chrysler brand president Christine Foyel told the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year that the Windsor Assembly is on the list of plants under consideration for the new finalized version of the Airflow Concept.
