Zero Motorcycles has announced plans to open a new factory that will more than double the company’s current production capacity. The new manufacturing facility will be built alongside Zero Motorcycle’s corporate headquarters in Scotts Valley, California. The factory will boost Zero’s production space to 34,000 square feet and reflects an increase in demand around the world for electric motorcycles, the company says. Renovation work on the new plant is scheduled to begin soon.
Zero also recently announced a $1.84 million project to develop what it calls its next-generation powertrain. “With this exciting new expansion, we reconfirm our commitment to building the best electric motorcycles in the world as well as creating U.S. based manufacturing jobs”, said Steve Salyer, Zero’s vice president of operations.
