In a statement, the company did not offer further details on what kind of EV production it will undertake at its sprawling complex in central Puebla state.

Volkswagen (ETR:VOWG_p)’s latest investment in its Mexican operations follows a $763.5 million plan announced in late 2022.

The earlier investment plan for Volkswagen’s Puebla facilities, among Volkswagen’s largest globally, was aimed at building a new paint plant as well as to start a new production line.

The company has made its Jetta, Taos and Tiguan models at its Puebla complex.

Since 2016, Volkswagen unit Audi has also made the Audi Q5, a compact SUV, at the same complex, and later added a hybrid version.
