Volkswagen’s Scout to Build $2 Billion Plant in South Carolina
WASHINGTON/FRANKFURT—Volkswagen’s off-road brand Scout Motors said on Friday it would build a $2 billion manufacturing plant near Columbia, South Carolina, for trucks and SUVs.
Potentially, the investment will create at least 4,000 permanent jobs. Additionally, more than 200 Scout vehicles per year could be manufactured annually at this facility.
