俄勒冈州姆尔特诺默县波特兰市消息：俄勒冈州姆尔特诺默县波特兰市的戴姆勒卡车北美公司10月30日正式关闭位于天鹅岛的卡车制造厂，约 375 个岗位受影响，结束了弗莱特莱纳品牌自 1947 年以来在波特兰的整车制造历史。
天鹅岛工厂位于北法瑟姆街 6936 号，1969 年开业，是弗莱特莱纳在波特兰的第三家工厂；公司表示，该厂生产的西星 X 系列、弗莱特莱纳 eCascadia 与 eM2 电动卡车将转移至北卡罗来纳州与南卡罗来纳州的工厂，以优化生产网络。俄勒冈州劳工部门的裁员预警通知显示实际裁员为 387 人，其中 343 人为工会代表员工，其余为非工会办公室员工，国际机械师与航空航天工人协会已就遣散与福利问题与公司谈判。
戴姆勒卡车北美公司强调，波特兰仍将是其北美总部与工程基地，工程、测试与技术业务继续留在当地。对波特兰制造业而言，天鹅岛工厂的关闭是一座里程碑式工厂的落幕，也意味着该市重型卡车制造时代的终结，受影响员工的安置与转岗将是接下来的焦点。

Oregon: Daimler Truck North America Closes Swan Island Plant in Portland on Oct. 30; 387 Jobs Affected, Headquarters Stays
Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon — Daimler Truck North America closed its truck manufacturing plant on Swan Island on Oct. 30, ending Freightliner's history of building complete trucks in Portland, which began in 1947.
The Swan Island plant, at 6936 North Fathom Street, opened in 1969 and was Freightliner's third plant in Portland. The company said production of the Western Star X-Series and the Freightliner eCascadia and eM2 electric trucks will move to plants in North Carolina and South Carolina to optimize its production network. The company put the number of affected jobs at about 375, while the Oregon labor department's WARN notice showed 387 layoffs, of whom 343 are union-represented employees and the rest non-union office staff. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers has been negotiating severance and benefits with the company.
Daimler Truck North America stressed that Portland will remain its North American headquarters and engineering base, with engineering, testing and technology operations staying in the city. For Portland manufacturing, the closure marks the end of an era for a landmark plant, and placement and transfers for affected workers will be the next focus.
