AUBURN HILLS, MI — Driven by growing global demand for its "Diatonic" dual-clutch transmission technology, BorgWarner Transmission Systems has broken ground for a second manufacturing facility at its Drivetrain campus in Arnstadt, Germany.

When completed in November, the plant will double the manufacturing area of the current site to more than 107,000-square-feet and is expected to create 150 new jobs by 2010. During the next few years, the company will invest nearly $35 million to expand the site, which will include a dedicated vehicle lab and test track for on-site vehicle evaluation.
