GM Announces Second Electric Van to be Built in Ontario

Published on September 28, 2021 in News by Guillaume Rivard

GM’s CAMI Assembly Plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, will begin production of the BrightDrop EV600 in November 2022, but that’s just the start.

The automaker’s new electric delivery van brand will have a second model, called EV410, and this one will also be built at CAMI from 2023.

The midsized BrightDrop EV410 already has a bright future as U.S. telecommunications company Verizon has just signed to become its first customer, although the size of the order remains unspecified. The EV600, if you recall, has orders from FedEx (at least 500 units) and Merchants Fleet (12,600 units).

Well-suited for faster, smaller payload deliveries or as a service vehicle—from online grocery delivery to telecom maintenance—the EV410 has a targeted estimated range of up to 400 kilometres just like its big brother.

It boasts a shorter wheelbase of just over 3.8 metres and a length of just over 6 metres, meaning it can fit into a standard-size parking space. This will be a key feature to reduce street congestion in urban areas, GM points out. At the same time, there’s more than 400 cubic feet of cargo space (11,327 litres).

The BrightDrop EV410 and EV600 both leverage GM’s highly flexible Ultium battery platform and innovative virtual development processes established by the GMC Hummer EV
