Encyclopedia > Auto Alliance

AutoAlliance International (AAI) is the name of a joint venture automobile assembly firm co-owned by Ford Motor Company and Mazda Motor Corporation. Located in Flat Rock, Michigan, Mazda purchased Ford's unused Michigan Casting Center for production of 626 sedans. AAI later produced the Mazda MX-6, Ford Probe, and Mazda 626. Ford bought 50% of the plant back, and it built the Ford Mondeo-derived Mercury Cougar. It now produces the Mazda Mazda6 and the new version of the Ford Mustang introduced in the fall of 2004.


The plant opened in September of 1987 as Mazda Motor Manufacturing (USA). It became a joint-venture and was renamed in 1992.

Auto Alliance President Philip Spender said the donation was a nice way to keep the school shop programs up to date while extending the useful life of the cars.
The consortium is housed rent-free in unused space at Auto Alliance's training center in Flat Rock, and the group also uses the parking lot there as a bus hub for transporting students between the consortium's participating schools.
