Last September, Ford announced a C$700 million investment at The Oakville plant, which manufactures the Ford Flex, Lincoln MKX and Lincoln MKT. The funding helped expand the facility’s production capability and preserved more than 2,800 jobs.

The 2015 Ford Edge was introduced as an almost production-ready concept vehicle at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. Ford has yet to say when production of the next-gen Edge will commence.

“The decision to produce the all-new global Edge in Canada is proof that Canadian manufacturers can compete, and win, globally,” said Dianne Craig, president and CEO of Ford Canada. “We’re ready to showcase Oakville Assembly’s commitment to craftsmanship and advanced manufacturing to deliver what our global customers want and value - a high-quality vehicle with class-leading design, fuel efficiency and performance.”
