Trenton Engine Plant is a Chrysler automobile factory in Trenton, Michigan. The north factory opened in 1952 while the south plant opened in 2010. ==Trenton Engine North Plant== The Trenton North Engine Plant opened in 1952 and underwent a major expansion in 1969.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://media.chrysler.com/newsrelease.do?id=9496&mid= )〕 Trenton engine was the site chosen for production of the 2.2 L four-cylinder engine which debuted in 1980 in the K-cars. The factory was expanded again in 1985 with a $150 million investment to add production of the 2.5 L four-cylinder in a area formerly used for production of the Chrysler Slant 6 engine. The Trenton Engine Plant produced all B and RB Chrysler Big Block V-8 Engines (361, 383, 400, 413, 426 and 440 cu. inch) from their introduction in 1957 until their demise in 1979. In 1988, Chrysler sold much of the machining equipment, as well as a license to the design, to First Auto Works of China. The Trenton plant largely switched to the new Chrysler 3.3 engine production, while FAW continued to build the 2.2. DaimlerChrysler reportedly invested $297 million in 2005 to expand the Trenton Engine plant to prepare to build a new 4.0 L version of the SOHC V6 and to revitalize the 3.8 line. The plant ceased building engines in May 2011〔 and Chrysler announced that it would invest $114 million to repurpose one-fifth or nearly 400,000 square feet of the plant for the production of core components for the Pentastar V-6 engine. In November 2012, the Company announced that it would invest an additional $40 million to add a flexible production line that can run both the Pentastar engine and the Tigershark (I-4) engine.〔 In May 2013, Trenton began producing the 3.2-liter Pentastar.〔 Current products:〔 * 3.0L & 3.2L Pentastar V6 engine 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trenton Engine Plant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
