Canterbury,NZ -NZPA/TV NZ -February 13, 2011: -- US bus maker DesignLine says a $39.4million joint venture to build a factory in the United Arab Emirates will more than double the workforce at its Canterbury plant here... The Abu Dhabi factory, a joint venture with American-based Liberty Automotive, will open later this year and will produce up to 300 electric buses each year, worth more than $105m, the American owners of DesignLine said... The expected increase in demand for hybrid/electric buses was expected to more than double the 120-strong workforce at Rolleston, 22km southwest of Christchurch, and also in Charlotte, North Carolina... DesignLine was established in Ashburton in 1985 and was bought by American interests in 2006. In 2009 it shifted its Canterbury factory to Rolleston... (Photo from thebergennetwork: Designline bus)
