A company press release confirmed that Stewart will be accompanied by senior federal and provincial government officials for the 13:00 press conference at the Stellantis Automotive Research and Development Center on Rhodes Drive. Sources told the Star that Prime Minister Justin Trinto and Prime Minister Doug Ford are expected to attend. Several sources have also confirmed that the expected announcement of new investments will amount to several hundred million dollars of local investment. Stellantis has already pledged up to $ 1.5 billion to upgrade its Windsor assembly plant to produce new electric vehicle models as well as updated versions of the Pacific minivan. The company has also previously confirmed to Unifor officials its intention to rehabilitate the plant in three shifts once the facility has been refurbished to produce electric vehicles. Chrysler brand president Christine Feuell said earlier this year at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas that the Windsor assembly was on the list of factories being considered for production of the new final version of the Airflow Concept.
