Magna (TSX: MG-A.TO) is putting in about $300 million into the project and is seeking low-interest loans from the federal government for about half the total cost.

But Stronach came to Ottawa without any guarantee he would be seeing Prime Minister Stephen Harper, although he said he hoped to arrange a meeting.

The electric vehicle is a major step by Magna to diversify its business away from auto parts, a sector hit hard by the slump in GM, Ford and Chrysler, Magna's main customers.

Besides electric vehicles, Austrian-born Stronach wants to expand Magna's vehicle assembly operations and use the Opel deal to boost sales to Russia, which could soon become Europe's largest car market and help Magna decrease its dependence on North America.

Magna has also been looking to other customers like Volkswagen, BMW and Toyota.

Saturday's Opel deal calls for Magna to take a 20 per cent stake in the German company and for state-controlled Russian lender Sberbank to take a 35 per cent stake, giving their consortium a majority.

GM will keep 35 per cent, while the remaining 10 per cent will go to Opel employees.
