State-of-the-art e-compressors are important for the thermal management in electric vehicles and crucial for battery life, high charging speed and driving range. In this respect, the company will be running production for both internal combustion engines (ICE) and electrification applications at one location. This decision represents MAHLE’s strong commitment to the US market as well as for the Morristown production site.
“Starting the e-compressor production in Morristown, Tennessee, marks an important milestone for MAHLE as we further strengthen our footprint in the USA and our role as local employer” said Arnd Franz, Chairman of the Management Board and CEO of MAHLE. “This extension is a great example of successfully transforming a production plant formerly fully dedicated to internal combustion engines by launching electrification products for future mobility – a clear investment in the plant’s future.”
MAHLE collaborated with state and local officials, as well as the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to bring this new venture to life.
With the installation of a brand-new production line for e-compressors at the site, employment will increase to almost 800, representing another important step toward shaping the future of mobility. Over the past five years in the state of Tennessee alone, MAHLE created more than 300 new jobs in Murfreesboro to manufacture thermal management products.
