The new alliance between Renault-Nissan and Daimler Automotive Group has established the location for their new assembly plant within Mexican borders – the new establishment will be in Aguascalientes, Mexico and will primarily manufacture the next-generation compact vehicles for both Mercedes-Benz and Infiniti. Jose Munoz, Executive Vice President for Nissan Motor Co., said “We are going to start the construction of this plant in 2015. Production of Infiniti vehicles will start in 2017 and of Mercedes-Benz in 2018. We are very-well trained employees, very skillful, high-attention to detail, high-quality, and the highest productivity, so I think it says it all. So it means it is really a great confidence that we have in Mexico and in particular Aguascalientes.” Additionally, Carlos Ghosn, Chairman and CEO, Renault-Nissan Alliance, said, “Infiniti’s goal is to capture 10% as a first step, as a first milestone, of the global premium vehicle market. To do so we need to expand our range of models, including the growing compact premium segment to appeal to customers in all of our core markets. By partnering with Daimler on development and production costs, Infiniti will move faster and will achieve greater economies of scale.” If you would like to read the full article please click on the link below:
