The second largest carmaker in the world will be relocating the manufacturing of its luxury brand to the United States after President Donald Trump has been encouraging car companies to do business in the US.
Volkswagen Group, which is the second largest car manufacturer in the world, will be joining a number of other car manufacturers in moving production to the United States for the German automaker's luxury brand, Audi, per the Daily Mail.
A spokesman for the company told the outlet, "We want to localize more strongly in the USA. To this end, we are currently examining various scenarios. We are confident that we will make a decision on this in consultation with the Volkswagen Group before the end of this year as to what this will look like in concrete terms."
During a recent earnings call for Audi, CFO of the brand Jürgen Rittersberger said that the car company is planning on creating 10 new models in the US and locations for production will be made public next year. There are around three locations where Audi has scouted out for production, according to a report from Automobilwoche.
One location that is primarily being considered is in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Parent company Volkswagen already builds its Atlas as well as the Atlas Sport at the Chattanooga location. Another site under consideration is in South Carolina, according to the report. A third location has not been disclosed.

SC would be great.
There is Scout Motors that’s under construction.
I guess it will go live someday.
I have 2 ~5 yr. old, AWD, m/t, S/W, VWs built in Mehico.
They supplement 2, 20 yr. old m/t, S/W TDIs [still daily, local drivers] built in Wolfsburg.
[If you don’t build what I want, you will NOT be paid.]
Homey getting Paid!
Serious Bank!
.
I’d like a VW Micro Bus 🚌
V6 Gas with a Head,small kitchen and a Twin bed for under 90k New.
.
To Much?
Perhaps VW has learned from past mistakes, primarily to think that German labor attitudes prevail in antagonistic US syndicates. We’ll see.
$90k sounds like a bit much.
AWD would be a requirement.
[Turbocharging to get Altitude Compensation of performance would also be required [having had 20 yr. of same makes me more than a bit prejudiced...]].
I thought Audi was going all electric?
Winnebago styles are 150K but for an old single guy to Big and To much Dinero.
Don’t want the hassle of a trailer. Class A is Way too much.
I just need to make my F250 work for Overniters..
.
Glad business is coming back to USA !
“I thought Audi was going all electric?”
yep: Yes, Audi is transitioning to a fully electric lineup. While the brand will continue to offer combustion engines for a few more years, they are committed to phasing them out and only introducing fully electric models after 2026. The plan is to have all-electric models in all core segments by 2027
IOW, Audi will soon become an irrelevant niche player in the USA ...
Hitler’s pride and joy ride moves to the US. I must say, when they started out they did make very dependable cars.
