Toluca Car Assembly
Toluca Car Assembly is a 220 acre [1] Chrysler automobile factory in Toluca, State of Mexico, Mexico. It opened in 1968. Toluca Stamping is located nearby.
DaimlerChrysler announced a US$1 billion investment[1] in the plant in March 2006 designed around creating a sophisticated flexible manufacturing system (FMS) that allows simultaneous production of vehicles of differing platforms. [2]. The plant currently assembles the distinctly different Chrysler PT Cruiser and the Dodge Journey.
The newly expanded Chrysler Park adjoins the plant and represents a joint venture of eight outside suppliers, including TRW, Magna Intier, IPO, Seglo, HBPO, Android, Brose and Gestamp [1].
Toluca Assembly produced 1,000,000 PT Cruisers as of March 8, 2006.
