Kawasaki’s Teryx4 which hit dealer showrooms earlier this year was the first vehicle to be designed and developed primarily at the Lincoln, NE manufacturing facility. The Lincoln R&D team developed the vehicle from the ground up concentrating on the vehicle’s frame and chassis while their counterparts in Japan worked on the engine and styling. It was a two to three year process. The Lincoln facility currently produces nearly the full range of Kawasaki’s consumer products with most of production destined for the US market. Management reports that more full product re-designs are in the future for the Lincoln R&D team. Learn more: Journalstar.com
