Audi said construction is scheduled to begin next year and production in the early 2030s. A US official told Reuters the plant is expected to assemble the Q7, Q8 and Q9, while the company also plans annual production of 25,000 vehicles at Scout Motors’ South Carolina facility.
The investment follows tariff pressure on imported vehicles: Audi said US tariffs cost it €1.2 billion last year. Its global sales have been under pressure from competition in China, and US sales are down 16% this year.
