Ford's Oakville Assembly Complex is undergoing a significant transformation as part of Ford's electric vehicle strategy. Suppliers to Ford Oakville's EV programs face new and evolving quality requirements as the plant transitions from traditional internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles.
