Toyota donates 45 engines to technical schools in north Alabama
Before Leslie Pitts became a student at Limestone County Career Technical Center, he was working on engines on a small farm where he grew up.
The 10th grader wants to put his experience to work someday by building engines for companies like Toyota’s Huntsville plant, the only Toyota facility in the world to make four-cylinder, V6 and V8 engines under one roof.
Pitts is one of many north Alabama students who will benefit from Toyota’s recent donation of 45 V6 engines to automotive programs in Madison, Limestone, Morgan, Marshall, DeKalb and Cullman counties. Many students in those programs were previously using engines that are 10 years old.
