Daimler and Nissan to produce engines together in North America
The partnership between the Daimler Group and Renault-Nissan is making another step forward as it has been announced that Nissan’s powertrain assembly plant in Decherd, Tennessee, will begin to produce Mercedes-Benz 4-cylinder gasoline engines for Infiniti and Mercedes vehicles. The plant is capable of producing up to 250,000 units per year and will mark the first production of Mercedes-Benz engines in the North America Free Trade region. The Tennessee plant’s strategic location and logistics links ensure a direct supply of engines starting in 2014 for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, built at Daimler’s vehicle plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
