Chrysler will invest $52 million in its engine plants in Trenton and Dundee in Michigan, reports The Detroit News.
The investment will increase output of Chrysler’s four-cylinder Tigershark motor and will create 298 new jobs.
Chrysler plans to invest $11.5 million to add a new assembly line for the Tigershark at its Trenton North factory, where all the new positions are being created.
In addition, the automaker will spend $40.5 million to convert a line at Dundee to machine cranks, heads and blocks to support Tigershark production at Trenton.
The Dundee plant also will continue to assemble Tigershark engines, as well as two other four-cylinder motors.
