Ottawa Testing Centre

Every Metro Motors vehicle passes through our Ottawa-area facility before it reaches a customer. This is where the ZM8 is assembled, upfitted, and checked against Canadian road standards – so what leaves our door is ready to be plated, put to work, and trusted.

Parts & Service

Backed by MTS Parts & Supply - genuine parts and dependable service to keep your fleet on the road.

Road-ready before it leaves

A vehicle is not finished when it is built - it is finished when it is proven. Our Ottawa-area centre is the final checkpoint where assembly, upfit, and compliance come together under one roof, backed by an independent professional engineering review of the platform.

Located just east of Ottawa in Vars (Russell Township), Ontario, our facility spans roughly 79,600 square feet of assembly, installation, and service space.
