On July 16th, TFE China was awarded production of the FEM assembly for Nissan H60A pick-up truck project in Zhengzhou. And P60A SUV, another project in the same global platform of Nissan is now scheduled to nominate to TFE China in later Sept, which was never a part of the original RFQ.
Adam Boyce, P1 Project Manager comments “This is the first time that TFE has developed a P1 program with local Chinese engineering from the very beginning of the program.” It also reinforces TFE’s presence in Zhengzhou as the current V531 program.
In Mid-2011 until early 2012, Valeo aggressively quoted the Nissan 60A program for the worldwide production. However we were unsuccessful. The Sales team did not give up, which leads to Valeo’s re-entry into the competition for Chinese production starting in early 2015.
