The Windsor ARDC will expand by adding 650 engineering jobs in various areas to support electrification growth. It will expand North American capability related to the transition to EV with a focus on electrified propulsion systems, including batteries, power electronics, electric machines, motor controls, energy management and embedded software.

The ARDC also will become the first Stellantis battery lab in North America, following the company’s announcement to establish a similar centre in Turin, Italy. The lab will be a centre for development and validation of BEV, PHEV and HEV cells, modules and battery packs.

A new 100,000 square foot facility will be added to the existing building with completion expected by the end of 2023.

Stellantis North America chief operating officer Mark Stewart said: “These investments reaffirm our long term commitment to Canada.”

The announcement increased overall company investment in Ontario to CAD$8.6 billion when combined with the earlier announced LG Energy Solution joint venture battery plant which will create 2,500 new jobs in the province.
