Canadian Technical Centre

What We Do

Cutting-edge research and development, innovation, testing, and engineering are taking place at GM’s Oshawa and Markham Elevation Centres and McLaughlin Advanced Technology Track. 

This Canadian Technical Centre (CTC) cluster is GM’s second largest automotive software engineering and development cluster in North America and third in the world. Here, engineers are focused on developing advanced driver-assistance systems, infotainment, electrification, autonomous vehicle software and controls, and innovative new technology.

In February 2021, GM announced the opening of the CTC McLaughlin Advanced Technology Track in Oshawa, Ontario. Situated on 55-acres just south of GM’s Oshawa Operations, the track allows CTC engineers to put their “code to the road” right here in Canada. The track supports the development and integration of software and hardware for advanced vehicle systems including vehicle motion embedded controls, advanced driver assistance systems, infotainment, and advanced technology work to help GM fulfill its vision of a future with Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions and Zero Congestion.
