The Government of Canada has announced a $10 million investment in order to build two new EV manufacturing facilities.
The investment, made through the Strategic Response Fund, will go to Hanon Systems, a company that specializes in thermal management for EVs and Hybrid vehicles, to support the construction of a manufacturing plant for vapour-injected electric compressors.
The project is expected to cost Hanon Systems $198.75 million, and the plant is expected to produce up to 1.5 million e-compressors per year by 2034.
Currently, Hanon Systems operates three facilities in Canada: two plants in Belleville (fluid transport) and one plant in Concord (electronics and fluid pressure), which together have a total headcount of 900 employees.
This announcement comes months after Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the new automotive strategy, which introduced a new rebate and a $1.5 billion investment in the Canada Infrastructure Bank’s Charging and Hydrogen Refuelling Infrastructure Initiative.
