LG Magna e-Powertrain, the joint venture between South Korea's LG Electronics and Canada's Magna International, broke ground on its new plant in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, on April 19.
If the name of the northern Mexico city rings a bell, it may be because General Motors also has a plant there, which currently builds the gasoline-powered Chevrolet Blazer and Equinox SUVs. However, GM plans to produce EVs in Ramos Arizpe starting in 2023, the same year the LG Magna e-Powertrain factory is expected to be completed.
