Volkswagen’s Chattanooga, Tennessee, assembly plant – its second such facility ever built in the United States – has reached a milestone despite only having been operational for a few months.
The 10,000th Passat rolled off the line yesterday. VW says that the monumental Passat was a Candy White diesel-powered TDI model. The plant officially began regular production of Passats in late May, although limited consumer production commenced about a month earlier.
“A lot of hard work has gone into this milestone, and I’m very proud of our team for reaching the 10,000 cars produced mark while maintaining high quality,” said Frank Fischer, CEO and Chairman of Volkswagen Chattanooga, in an interview with the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
“The ramp-up process is on target for market introduction and our team is really hitting its stride.”
