until five years ago, this was the world's largest diesel engine plant, producing 3 million units a year, and the scheduled phase-out of combustion engines posed a direct threat to its survival.
Diesel and gasoline still account for three-quarters of production, but an electric motor assembly line is now running at a rate of 1,400 units a day
Series production of a new-generation electric motor is due to start in September, with the double advantage that 80% of parts for the future motor will be sourced in France
