The funding will be directed to the Univ of Windsor-FCA Automotive Research and Development Centre (ARDC) to boost its work on student training in product design and engineering encompassing extreme weather testing, corrosion control, road test simulation and night-time headlight testing. The remaining provincial funding ($69 million) will go towards advanced workforce training at FCA's Windsor assembly plant and technology enhancements related to the new Pacifica Hybrid minivan.
