Taiga Motors, a developer of electric off-road vehicles, has announced plans to build a mass-production assembly facility in Shawinigan, Que.
The first phase of construction, scheduled for completion in 2022, represents an investment to accelerate the mass production of the company’s electric snowmobiles and personal watercrafts, as well as side-by-side vehicles, which are expected to be ready for production in 2022.
“This facility, a part of the $185 million in recently announced funding, will bolster Taiga into becoming a globally leading OEM for powersports vehicles,” said CEO Samuel Bruneau. “We have seen strong customer demand limited by product availability. This new facility shows Taiga’s continued commitment to be trailbreakers and offer electric vehicles capable of driving mass-market adoption without compromise.”
Snowmobile and personal watercraft production are expected to begin immediately following build completion. The facility is expected to increase Taiga’s production capacity to 80,000 units by 2025.
The company’s initial production acceleration is underway at its Montreal R&D facility, which is expected to ramp up production capacity to 2,000 vehicles per year by the end of 2021.
