INGERSOLL, Ontario — General Motors Co.'s BrightDrop electric delivery vehicle company is adding DHL Express Canada logistics company as a customer, the automaker said Monday.
The company also said Monday it has launched production of the BrightDrop Zevo 600 electric delivery vans at GM's CAMI Assembly plant in Ontario, making it Canada's first EV factory. The delivery vans were previously being manufactured at small scale at a Michigan supplier plant until the CAMI facility was ready for production. Production of the Zevo 400, a smaller model than the Zevo 600, will start in late 2023. BrightDrop expects to make 30,000 next year and scale to 50,000 by 2025.
"Bringing BrightDrop to Canada and starting production at CAMI is a major step to providing EVs at scale, while delivering real results to the world's biggest brands," BrightDrop president and CEO Travis Katz said in a statement.
