and thirteen million Canadian dollars to Honda's0:11next generation of vehicles.0:12The money is aimed at keeping more than four zero existing jobs at Alliston as Honda0:17prepares its next Civic and CRV.0:19Ontario's contribution brings the public commitment to four hundred and sixty nine0:23million dollars.0:24What protection will that money give the people already working there?0:27Honda's two Alliston plants already employ over four two hundred people.0:31They sit within the town of New Techamseth, where keeping the assembly lines working0:34also sustains demand for suppliers and supports households beyond the factory gates.0:38The federal contribution was announced on November13,2026 , through the Strategic0:43Response Fund.0:44That program supports large industrial projects, supply chains, and employment.0:48Here, the immediate goal is to prepare an established manufacturing operation for0:52its next products.0:53Ottawa's three hundred and thirteen million dollars and Ontario's one hundred and0:56fifty six million add up to four hundred and sixty nine million Canadian dollars.1:00Those are announced contributions.1:01The announcement doesn't tell us how much has already been paid or whether Ontario's1:05portion comes from an earlier commitment.1:07Honda's broader commitment is eight hundred sixty-seven million dollars.1:10That includes future planned investment and related expenses.1:13The federal government describes it as the Alliston Retooling Plan, but the1:17different spending categories need to stay separate.1:19Honda announced a one hundred sixty-six million dollar capital investment on1:23November9 in Markham.1:24That pays for upgrades and retooling, including bringing engine manufacturing back.1:28It's part of the broader eight hundred and sixty-seven million dollar commitment, so1:31adding the two would count that capital spending twice.1:34The public contributions also can't simply be stacked on top to produce a bigger1:38project total.1:39Honda and the governments haven't explained how all those amounts fit together,1:42leaving Honda's own net spending unclear.1:44The factory work will modernize manufacturing technology and provide employee1:48training.1:48Honda is preparing next generation hybrid electric and gasoline-powered vehicles,1:53along with their engines and hybrid systems.1:55Both Alliston Assembly lines already build gasoline and hybrid variants, the Civic1:59Sedan on Line One and the CR V on line two.2:02Honda says the investment will maintain more than four zero Canadian workers.2:06The employment promise centers on retaining the workforce already there.2:09The company is connecting those workers to its next generation of production.2:13The government's current workforce figure is over four two hundred.2:16Its project objective uses the broader wording: more than four zero jobs maintained.2:20Those differently precise figures don't signal a planned cut.2:23What workers still need to know is how long their jobs would be protected.2:27Subscribe to this channel to follow the Alliston production timetable and the terms2:31protecting its workers.2:32Alliston produced four hundred and one zero vehicles in two thousand and2:35twenty-five.2:36Its existing annual capacity exceeds four hundred zero.2:39The retool's objective is to support up to four hundred zero vehicles a year,2:43equipping that established production base for its next generation of models.2:46Industry Minister M.2:47Laney Jolie also put planned engine production at about two hundred zero amperes2:51year.2:52That's an announced production figure.2:53Honda and the governments haven't given a date for those engines or the next2:57generation vehicles to enter production.2:59Honda began building the accord in Alliston in November one thousand nine hundred3:02and eighty-six, becoming Canada's first Japanese auto manufacturer.3:05A second facility opened in one thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight with the3:08Odyssey Minivan in two thousand and twenty-five the complex built its eleven3:13millionth vehicle.3:14Alliston was also the first plant outside Japan to build Acura vehicles.3:18The complex now covers four million square feet.3:21In two thousand and twenty-five, it was Canada's second largest auto manufacturer by3:25volume.3:25This investment arrives at its fortieth anniversary.3:28Honda plans fifteen new Honda and Acura hybrid models globally by two thousand and3:32thirty.3:32North America is expected to be the main market for many of them.3:36Investments in Canada, Ohio, Alabama, and Georgia are intended to support that3:40integrated production network.3:41Honda Canada Chief Executive Dave Jamison presents the Alliston investment as part3:46of that North American growth and hybrid strategy.3:48The global model plan covers the wider company network, while Alliston's announced3:52products are the next Civic and CRV.3:54Honda Canada already sources more than three billion Canadian dollars in goods and3:58services from Canadian suppliers each year.4:00It has invested more than six point five billion dollars in Canada.4:04Those existing company wide totals show how far its industrial relationships reach.4:09About seventy percent of Honda vehicles sold in Canada each year are built in4:12Canada.4:13Retaining production therefore reaches Canadian buyers as well as workers.4:16Although the announcements don't put a number on additional supplier jobs, mayor4:20Richard Norcross welcomed Honda's capital investment and its role in the local4:24economy.4:25Mayor Alex Stephanie McLean also welcomed it, while stressing that Honda and both4:29governments still have work ahead to protect jobs and support future investment.4:33Ontario's government wants the retool to anchor its workers in Honda's North4:36American supply chain.4:37The federal government is placing the commitment within a broader effort to preserve4:40Canadian industrial capacity under pressure from tariffs.4:43Jolie called Canada an auto nation, now and into the future.4:47The contribution follows the federal automotive strategy announced February5 and the4:51Canada Ontario Action Plan launched October201 , both aimed at strengthening4:56industry and protecting workers.4:57The strategic response fund gives governments a way to support large manufacturing5:01projects through that uncertainty.5:03Keeping Honda's next products in Alliston serves that policy, while the operation5:07still faces the wider pressures on Canada's automotive sector.5:10Canadian Automotive Manufacturing supports more than one hundred and twenty zero5:13direct jobs.5:14It contributed seventeen point one billion Canadian dollars to the economy in two5:18thousand and twenty-five and draws on nearly seven hundred parts manufacturers.5:22Those are the national stakes behind efforts to retain production.5:25Canada produced more than one point two million vehicles in two thousand and5:29twenty-five, ranking fourteenth globally.5:31The Alliston commitment is one investment within that industry with delivery still5:35ahead.5:35For workers, the announced commitment is to maintain employment while preparing the5:39next products.5:40The contribution agreement hasn't been disclosed, so workers can't yet see a binding5:44employment floor, its duration or the consequences if Honda misses its obligations.5:48The governments also haven't disclosed whether the federal contribution must be5:52repaid or the milestones for releasing it.5:54Honda hasn't set out a dated completion or production ramp.5:57Up schedule for the Alliston retool.อ่านบทความลำดับเวลาของเรื่องHeyDex
