GMCL’s Canadian Engineering Centre has operated in Canada since 2001 and represents Canada’s only significant, dedicated automotive engineering centre. GMCL is also the Canadian leader in collaborative university-based research and has been recognized for over a decade as one of the strongest partners in supporting industry and academic innovation by the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (“NSERC”).

The Canadian Engineering Centre not only performs more of this collaborative research than any other Canadian auto company, but is among the top leaders of all companies in Canada. GMCL is presently collaborating with dozens of faculty members from coast to coast, and is also supporting the training of 100+ graduate students and postdocotoral fellows in partnership with Canadian and Provincial Collaborative Research Funding Programs annually.

In 2007, the Canadian Engineering Centre transformed from primarily a vehicle engineering organization into a centre that focused its activities on advanced technology innovation and applied research and development activities. Advanced “Green” automotive technology development was targeted for CREC as a critical corporate priority.

As part of General Motors Global Engineering Organization, the Canadian Engineering Centre has a prolific Record of Inventions (“ROI”) with 331 ROIs to date, and 78 patents filed in the last 36 months.

The Oshawa-based centre is now hiring for the addition of more than 100 software and controls engineers to support a new mandate related to “connected car” systems, environmental and urban mobility solutions.
