MEXICO CITY (Reuters) -Volkswagen's Mexican unit announced on Friday an investment of around $1 billion, in a second installment of spending by the German automaker aimed at boosting its electric vehicle (EV)business at its existing operations in central Mexico.
In a statement, the company did not offer further details on what kind of EV production it will undertake at its sprawling complex in central Puebla state.
Volkswagen (ETR:VOWG_p)'s latest investment in its Mexican operations follows a $763.5 million plan announced in late 2022.
The earlier investment plan for Volkswagen's Puebla facilities, among Volkswagen's largest globally, was aimed at building a new paint plant as well as to start a new production line.
The company has made its Jetta, Taos and Tiguan models at its Puebla complex.
Since 2016, Volkswagen unit Audi has also made the Audi Q5, a compact SUV, at the same complex, and later added a hybrid version.
