A partnership between the Renault-Nissan Alliance and Daimler AG, Infiniti's new powertrain plant in Decherd, Tennessee, U.S.A will commence operations from the 26th of June. Construction of the $319 million, 310,000-square foot facility began in May 2012 and incorporates a number of energy efficient design features, such as a white roof which reflects heat, and a skylight grid which floods the factory with natural daytime light.
Moreover, around 200 new jobs have been created to date, with that number expected to increase to 400 once the plant ramps up to its full 250,000 engine capacity per annum.
The first engine assembled at the all new facility will be a four-cylinder, 2.0-litre turbocharged, petrol engine. The engines will initially be used in European versions of the Infiniti Q50 sports saloon and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class assembled in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam, Infiniti Motor Company President Johan de Nysschen and Gary Edwards, Vice President, Powertrain Operations and Battery Plant, are expected to preside over the Opening Celebration activities.
