Information About

Trenton Engine




Trenton engine was the site chosen for production of the 2.2 L Four Cylinder Engine which debuted in 1980 in the K-cars . The factory was expanded again in 1985 with a $150 million investment to add production of the 2.5 L Four Cylinder in a 324,000 square foot area formerly used for production of the Chrysler Slant 6 Engine .

In 1988 , Chrysler sold much of the machining equipment, as well as a license to the design, to First Auto Works of China . The Trenton plant largely switched to the new Chrysler 3.3 Engine production, while FAW continues to build the 2.2 to this day.

DaimlerChrysler reportedly invested $297 million in 2005 to expand the Trenton Engine plant to prepare to build A New 4.0 L Version of the SOHC V6 and to revitalize the 3.8 line.
