The plant is planned for an annual capacity of up to 200,000 vehicles, primarily large premium SUVs for the North American market. audi.com<\/p>\n<p>Trump described the project at the rally as a $4.2 billion investment near Macon and said construction could begin as soon as next month. Audi\u2019s own announcement gives a more cautious timeline, saying construction is scheduled to begin in 2027, with vehicle production expected to start in the early 2030s. Reuters also reported that the project still requires approval from Volkswagen\u2019s supervisory board. Fox Business<\/p>\n<p>Audi CEO Gernot D\u00f6llner appeared alongside Trump and described the project as a long-term investment in the American market. Reuters reports that the factory is expected to assemble models including the Q7, Q8 and upcoming Q9, while Audi also plans additional production through Volkswagen\u2019s Scout Motors operation in South Carolina. Reuters<\/p>\n<p>The announcement comes as Trump continues arguing that tariffs on imported vehicles and parts are encouraging automakers to shift production to the United States. Audi, which currently imports its U.S.-market vehicles, was hit by approximately \u20ac1.2 billion in tariff costs last year, according to Reuters. Reuters<\/p>\n<p>The Georgia project would represent a major expansion of Audi\u2019s American manufacturing footprint if finalized, but the company\u2019s official timetable shows that the factory is still a long-term project rather than one expected to begin producing vehicles immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump announced Saturday that Audi plans to establish its first U.S. vehicle-production plant in Georgia, presenting the investment during a campaign rally in Perry as&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":569,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
