Cenntro Automotive to build manufacturing facility in Florida

Cenntro Automotive, a manufacturer of electric commercial vehicles, has selected Jacksonville, Fla., for its first U.S.-based manufacturing facility. The 100,000-sq.-ft. facility will support the company’s production of its vehicle lines, with a possible expansion to support additional vehicles and a battery packing operation.

When fully operational, the facility is expected to create up to 34 jobs, including R&D specialists, highly skilled technician positions, and administrative support. The new facility is expected to produce more than 50,000 vehicles within four years, along with assembly, quality and testing processes, parts warehouse, distribution, and administrative functions.
