DaimlerChrysler will invest EUR150m over the next two years in its heavy truck engine assembly plant in Mannheim.


The project goes under the name of ‘synchronous factory’, according to dpa-AFX, and will include construction of an assembly and logistics hall, new manufacturing equipment technologies and infrastructure projects.


The aim is to improve productivity and make the plant one of the most efficient in the sector. The new building should be completed by the end of 2008 and machinery and equipment installed by the end of 2009.


Mannheim produced around 400,000 engines in 2006 – 8,500 people are employed in the engine plant and neighbouring EvoBus facilities.
