MONTGOMERY, Alabama – Hyundai today celebrated the production of its 5 millionth Alabama-made engine, a key milestone for the company’s Montgomery auto operations.
The event comes less than 12 years after the plant assembled its first Lambda six-cylinder engine in May 2005.
Hyundai says its engine shops achieved this milestone faster than any other engine assembly operation in the Southeast because they have been supplying two auto plants – Hyundai’s auto assembly lines in Montgomery as well as those operated by affiliate Kia in Georgia – since 2010.
