Renault-Nissan, Daimler Expand Co-operation With New Mexico Plant: Video

The Renault-Nissan Alliance and Daimler have expanded the scope of their technical partnership this week, announcing a new assembly plant to be built in Aguascalientes, Mexico.

The new plant will jointly add nearly 5700 workers to the payrolls of the respective carmakers, with the AU$1.45 billion cost of establishing the plant to be shared equally.

Once full operation can be realised in around 2021, the plant - adjacent to an existing Nissan plant in Mexico - will be capable of producing up to 300,000 vehicles annually.
