Breaking News. Volkswagen To Build New SUV At Chattanooga Plant; Local Investment Is $600 Million; Plant Employment To Double To 4,000; New R&D Center Set. Volkswagen officials said Monday morning they plan to build a new SUV line at the Chattanooga plant that already produces the Passat. Also, a new research and development center with 200 engineers focusing on the U.S. market will be built at the Chattanooga plant.
Current production on the 2016 Passat is increasing at the Chattanooga plant. We are all confused as to what VW is doing. Initially, we were only building the 4 cylinder gas engine for the US market for California only. We were building the diesel engines for Canada only. We built a few 4 and 5 cylinder gas engines for Mexico and Saudi Arabia.
Volkswagen currently markets two variants of the Passat globally. In January 2011, Volkswagen announced that the new mid-size sedan (NMS) being built at the Volkswagen Chattanooga Assembly Plant for the North American market would be named the Passat. Shanghai Volkswagen Automotive also manufactures the Passat NMS in its Nanjing factory.
