Overview
- The automaker will not relocate BrightDrop manufacturing, marking a full discontinuation of the electric delivery van line.
- CAMI’s output had been paused since spring with a planned single-shift restart in November, leaving roughly 1,200 unionized jobs uncertain.
- GM cites weak demand, regulatory changes and the Sept. 30 expiration of U.S. EV incentives for fleets as reasons the business no longer works.
- Hourly workers are to receive six months’ pay plus potential lump-sum payments and other benefits under the Unifor collective agreement.
- Slow sales left hundreds of vans in dealer inventory after about 2,000 units sold in 2024, and GM says it will work with Unifor and governments as it assesses future uses for the CAMI site.
