General Motors will idle the CAMI Assembly Plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, from October through spring 2024.
The company will halt production because of delays in the delivery of needed Ultium battery modules that power the"CAMI Assembly will take downtime beginning in October, due to previously announced delays in battery-module supply," GM spokesperson Maria Violette said in a statement. "Vehicle production is expected to resume in the spring of 2024, supported by the launch of CAMI's new battery-module line, which will have capacity to fully support BrightDrop production at CAMI and supplement EV production at other GM plants."the CAMI Assembly Plant was idled for two weeks in July amid a battery module shortage
following two weeks of a summer shutdown. Before that shutdown, workers were on rotating shifts, two weeks on and four weeks off, to keep all employed. GM CEO Mary Barra said on the second-quarter earnings call in July that an unspecified issue with automation equipment supply for battery module production was slowing its electric vehicle production ramp-up.The unexpected delays were caused by an unnamed automation equipment supplier that was struggling with delivery issues, which in turn constrained module assembly capacity. The executive said at the time that the issue was expected to be resolved at the end of 2023.
