Fisker Automotive, Inc., announced the opening of a new engineering and development center in Pontiac, Michigan. The 34,000 square foot facility will house up to 200 engineers and designers, who will support the development and production program of the company's first production car, the plug-in hybrid Fisker Karma.
“The available talent, supplier base and infrastructure in Michigan will help us reach our production goal,” said Fisker Automotive COO Bernhard Koehler. “While Fisker Automotive will continue to be headquartered in Irvine, California, the new facility will allow us the opportunity to collaborate with our Michigan supplier base and have everyone under one roof.”
Initial domestic deliveries of the Fisker Karma is set to commence in the 4th quarter of 2009 in North America with planned delivery to the U.S. and Europe. Fisker Automotive’s annual production is projected to reach 15,000 vehicles by 2011.
