Audi has confirmed a multi-billion dollar investment to establish its first US manufacturing plant in Georgia, with construction beginning next year and production by the early 2030s. This strategic shift, announced alongside former President Trump, is a direct response to US tariffs on imported vehicles and aims to localize production. While the initial investment is confirmed at $4-4.2 billion for one plant creating 4,500 jobs, claims of a second plant and a total $60 billion investment remain partially confirmed.
