The Mishawaka plant is probably one of the most modern and high tech vehicle assembly plants in the United States.

Russian plant was H2 only, and you're correct about the South Africa plant -- that's where all global H3s were made (outside North America). As for Dongfeng, that was a knock-off -- not licensed by AM General. AMG is not big on sharing their technology/production rights with anyone - since they export to countries all over the world.

Mishawaka is where all North American H2s are made.
