International Desk (Washington / London): Audi is going to set up its first American factory in the US state of Georgia at a cost of about 4 billion dollars.
German luxury carmaker Audi is to set up its first US factory in the US state of Georgia at a cost of around $4 billion, which will create around 4,500 new jobs. Under the plan, up to 2 lakh premium SUVs will be produced annually by the beginning of the next decade. According to Audi, this investment represents a long-term commitment to the US market.
The announcement comes at a time when Germany's auto industry is under pressure from growing competition from Chinese electric vehicles, rising costs and global conflicts. Major companies including Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have warned of falling profits and announced widespread cost-cutting, while Audi's German factories are also threatened with closures. In this context, Audi's American investment sparked a new debate regarding the industrial future and employment in Germany.
Audi says that the $4 billion investment in the US is not just to avoid tariffs, but to strengthen its presence in the US market and further stabilize the business.
