Automotive manufacturing is big business in Ontario.

How big? We're home to five of the world's top automakers, as well as 300+ innovative parts manufacturers. Our industry employs 88,000 highly skilled workers who produced 2.1+ million vehicles in 2011 - more than any other North American sub-national jurisdiction.

Powering the green evolution

All of us in the auto industry know that the automobile is being reinvented. The cars of the future will be lighter, stronger and safer. They'll be totally recyclable. They'll run on renewable clean energy and they'll be smart in ways we're only now beginning to envision and develop. Ontario supports the vision of a "green" future for the auto industry. We are working to ensure that companies who invest here and operate here are in the best position to compete and succeed in global markets.

What fuels Ontario's success?

A sophisticated R&D infrastructure focused on green innovation, generous R&D tax credits, outstanding workers with skills for the 21st century and unparalleled market access.

If you're an automaker or parts manufacturer, there's no better place than Ontario to conduct R&D or assemble the components and cars of the future.
