Challenges lie ahead for the Windsor Assembly Plant, as different versions of the Chrysler Pacifica roll off the line.
Plant Manager Michael Brieda says 2016 was a busy and exciting year with the launch of the new van.
"It doesn't get any easier for us. It's the end of the year, now we start building the plug-in electric hybrid version of the minivan," he describes. "So more complexity, a new challenge, but something we're excited to be a part of -- building electrified minivans -- you know, we're the only ones that build them."
Since its launch in May, Brieda says Fiat-Chrysler's been focussed on selling the Pacifica in North America.
"Six months ago it was rare to find one [driving on local roads]. But now it's like, I must have seen about three or four just driving home yesterday, in the city [of Windsor]," he explains. "That's very encouraging."
In the new year, with the addition of the hybrid model, he believes there's going to be a strong international push.
