President Obama made his first speech for the year 2012, in Mt. Holly North Carolina on yesterday. The President calls for more energy production of natural gas and an increase in alternative fuel vehicles on the nation’s roadways.

Freightliner trucking company-Daimler Trucks, is known for making trucks with alternative fueling. The company that layed off workers and has since recovered has rehired employees as well as new employees.

In recent years, there’s been a spike in manufacturing and in turn more trucks and vehicle parts have rolled off the assembly line.   The plant is one of three Freightliner plants in the Charlotte region.
