Research & DevelopmentBuilding on a strong foundation of world-class community-industry-education partnerships, the Windsor-Essex Region has developed into the 'Intellectual Capital of Canada's Automotive Industry'. The University of Windsor/DaimlerChrysler Canada Automotive Research & Development Centre was established in 1995 with a start-up investment of $30 million from the automaker and the three levels of government. Today, the Centre is the largest dedicated Automotive R&D centre in Canadian history. Driven by a further $500 million investment by DaimlerChrysler Canada, the most recent expansion includes new state-of-the-art facilities and equipment for automotive safety research, vehicle recycling methods, road simulation and vehicle lighting systems. International Truck and Engine has also partnered with the University of Windsor in two automotive research and development facilities in the Windsor-Essex Region. The centres, having opened in early 2005, now employ 100 engineers, professors, graduate students and co-op students. Named as one of the top 50 research communities in all of Canada for 2009 (Re$earch Infosource), the Windsor-Essex Region is well recognized for its diverse and comprehensive Research and Development projects and facilities. |
