Santa Clara, CA-based SF Motors, which is a subsidiary of Chongqing Sokon Industry Group, has entered an agreement to acquire the Commercial Assembly Plant of AM General in Mishawaka, Indiana (USA). SF Motors intends to produce unspecified electric vehicles at this plant when AM General's contract with Daimler AG expires. The commercial plant is currently making Mercedes-Benz R-Class vehicles and previously made the Mobility Ventures MV-1 van. About 17,200 R-Class were produced in 2016 (~7,200 in Jan-May 2017).
This purchase does not include AM General's Military Assembly Plant where the HMMWV tactical vehicles are produced. The Military Assembly Plant also supplies kits for the Humvee C-Series, which is an export-only civilian version of the HMMWV assembled by VLF Automotive of Auburn Hills, MI.
