In fact, most North Alabama locations are within an average 3.0-hour driving distance of more than 10 automotive OEM assembly plants. North Alabama is also home to both Toyota and Navistar engine plants, Polaris’ newest assembly plant, producing off-road side-by-sides and its on-road Slingshot, over 100 automotive-related suppliers, and the $90 million Robotics Technology Park focusing on workforce development.
North Alabama’s robust automotive sector was validated when Mazda Toyota Manufacturing USA (MTM) announced its $1.6 billion partnership in Huntsville/Limestone County.
The addition of this project places Alabama in the top-5 of national auto producers and on course to become the South’s largest automaker.
