Construction equipment maker Liebherr Group plans to invest $225 million over the next six years and add nearly 248,000 square feet to expand production of clean-diesel engines at its production subsidiary in Bulle, Switzerland.
Demand for clean-diesel engine technology worldwide is fueling the need for companies like Liebherr to streamline and expand production of mobile power plants. The Bulle expansion includes a nearly 97,000-sq-ft standalone assembly plant for common-rail fuel-injection systems, set to open in 2016, and more than 150,000 sq ft of testing bays added onto existing plant space.
