Mercedes Benz fuel cell plant creates 50 new jobs

Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Minister Pat Bell participated in the grand opening of Mercedes Benz’s new $53 million fuel cell production plant in Burnaby, which is providing 50 new jobs for B.C. families. British Columbia was chosen as the home of the new facility, beating out some of the world’s largest automotive manufacturing centres: Detroit, California, Stuttgart and Ontario. In the end, it was B.C.’s reputation for excellence in fuel cell research, as well as our existing infrastructure for fuel cell development, that gave our province the edge. In fact, this Mercedes-Benz investment in our province has confirmed B.C.’s long-held distinction, shared by industry insiders, as the number-one place for fuel cell technology development in the world.
