Audi plans to invest $4 billion in a new factory in Georgia, USA, starting construction in 2027. The facility aims to employ around 4,500 people and produce 200,000 vehicles annually by the early 2030s, focusing on premium SUVs tailored for North American customers. This investment reflects Audi's long-term commitment to the U.S. market, positioning North America alongside Europe and China as key production hubs. The announcement follows a downward revision of Audi's financial forecasts due to economic uncertainties and declining sales in the U.S. and China, with a reported 17% drop in U.S. sales in the first half of the year. Meanwhile, Volkswagen plans to freeze employee salaries until 2030 as part of cost-cutting measures.
