POLKOWICE, Poland -- Volkswagen AG opened a factory in Poland to build engines for the full line of VW-brand vehicles.
The company said it invested 100 million deutsche marks ($53 million or 50.8 million euros) in the factory, which will build four-cylinder diesel engines to be delivered to 19 VW assembly plants. The motors can be used in either cars or light trucks.
The factory has capacity to build as many as 540,000 engines a year and employ up to 650 people, though only 350 workers are employed there now.
"Polkowice will be an important leg in the structure of the aggregated factories of our concern," said VW Chief Executive Ferdinand Piech in a statement.
