Good People, Good Jobs, Good Cars

pierIt's a winning combination.

Volkswagen Group of America will open the doors of our new Chattanooga facility with an initial investment of $1 billion, resulting in about 2,000 direct jobs. And we're confident the new automobile model we build there, designed especially for North American drivers, will be successful enough to create even more jobs in the future.

We admire the enthusiasm, skills and work ethic of the people of the tri-state area. We look forward to putting down roots and making new friends, and we look forward to having a positive impact on the quality of life and prosperity of the region.

Success follows vision, and we believe our vision is a good fit with the collective vision of the leaders and people of Chattanooga.
