Volkswagen opened its 100th plant worldwide in Silao, Mexico on Wednesday. The facility is dedicated to TSI engine production and will have an annual capacity of 330,000 units.
The German manufacturer is strengthening its presence in Mexico after investing in the Puebla (Jetta, Golf, Beetle and Beetle Convertible for all markets), Querétaro (commercial trucks) and San José Chiapa (Audi Q5 starting in 2016) assembly plants.
It's expected that 700 new jobs will be created in Silao, which will supply the North American vehicle plants in Puebla and Chattanooga, Tennessee with the latest generation of fuel-efficient TSI engines.
