Oshawa Defence Manufacturing Expansion

planned

Oshawa is aiming to expand its traditional auto industry into the defence sector by leveraging advanced manufacturing capabilities, including electric and autonomous vehicles, and collaborating with Ontario Technology University and private enterprises. The initiative includes positioning Oshawa as a national defence corridor and utilizing facilities like the ACE Climatic Wind Tunnel for testing armoured vehicles. There is also hope for General Motors to pivot into defence manufacturing with future orders potentially built in Oshawa.
