check out the picture of the engine plant below, looks like a motel on the water.
here is the story. Ford Motor Company is to make a £169 million investment in its diesel engine manufacturing unit at Dagenham in Essex. This brings to over £550 million the total amount invested at Dagenham since 2003. This latest investment comes as a result of the decision by Ford Motor Company and PSA Peugeot Citroen to expand capacity for high technology diesel engines as part of the ongoing cooperative agreement between the two companies. This agreement has been so successful that demand for engines will soon outstrip the existing supply base. Under the new plan, 1.4 and 1.6 litre diesel engine production will be added to the Dagenham Engine Plant from 2007 and, depending on the market and economic conditions prevailing at that time, could create up to 460 new jobs. New production lines capable of turning out around 400,000 engines a year will be installed in the state-of-the-art Dagenham Diesel Centre, opened by Prime Minister Tony Blair in 2003. The Dagenham Engine Plant will, by then, have the capacity to build almost a million engines a year.
