The plant ceased production of Mitsubishi Colt and Outlander cars in November and will manufacture vehicles for BMW’s MINI unit.
Although no details have yet been announced for the 200,000 units a year plant, it is widely expected to assemble some cars under contract for MINI from 2014, when a redesigned line is due out.
