St. Catharines, Ontario – General Motors of Canada president and managing director, Kevin Williams, announced today a $245 million investment for the St. Catharines powertrain facility to expand production capacity for a new six-speed transmission.

On April 27, GM officials had announced a $235 million investment to build a new generation of engine at this Ontario plant beginning in 2013.

These two production investments will secure some 800 jobs.

This evolution of GM’s current Hydra-matic 6T40/45 transmission will be supplied beginning in early 2012 to both the CAMI Ingersoll and GM Oshawa assembly plants to be used on the Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain and Buick Regal.
