Chrysler Group said it will add about 500 workers at a Mexican engine plant, Bloomberg News reported, citing two people with direct knowledge of the matter said.
People, who asked not to be identified speaking ahead of the announcement, said that Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sergio Marchionne will provide details later this week when he visits the Saltillo area, where Chrysler has four plants, with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.
The investment will total $164 million to expand production at the engine factory in the town of Ramos Arizpe, one of them said.
Chrysler began building the ProMaster, a Ram version of the Fiat Ducato light-commercial vehicle, at a nearby facility in July.
