摘要

In a double celebration attended by local civil dignitaries, the Saran engine factory of John Deere recently marked a double milestone - the five millionth engine produced by the Deere group and the inauguration of a new engine production line at Saran. Located on the outskirts of Orleans, France, the Saran factory was opened in 1962 as a tractor assembly plant serving the French market, Engine production started in 1965 and the most significant milestone in the development of the factory was the 1989 introduction of a marketing structure, targeting non-captive sales of diesel engines to the European OEM market.
