Oregon in running for Norwegian car plant – Think North America

A Norwegian company considering Oregon for electric-car manufacturing may be eyeing the Portland plant that built Freightliners as a site to employ 900 workers.

Think North America http://www.think.no/, whose parent company makes emission-free vehicles, confirmed today that it’s considering Oregon and seven other states for a factory that would ultimately make 60,000 compact cars a year.

Think managers want to convert an existing building into a car plant and to launch an engineering center, perhaps alongside. As Oregon, Michigan, California and other states scramble to offer incentives, Think plans to decide on a location within a couple of months, investing an as-yet-undisclosed amount.
