Ford to Build Hybrids in Canada by 2010

Ford of Canada is on track to become the first automaker to bring hybrid vehicle production to Canada when the Oakville Assembly Complex (OAC) adds hybrid versions of the all-new Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX to its assembly line by 2010.

In preparation, Ford is investing C$1 billion (US$864 million) in OAC to convert it to flexible manufacturing allowing the assembly of multiple models on unique architectures.
