automobile plants

Vehicle manufacturing facilities

Automobile plants are factories where cars and trucks are manufactured.

These facilities house assembly lines where vehicles move through stations as workers and robots add components—engines, transmissions, body panels, interiors.

A single plant may employ thousands and produce hundreds of thousands of vehicles annually.

The automaker announced it would close two automobile plants in the Midwest.
