Volkswagen’s Chattanooga plant will hold the most advanced auto paint shop in the world and is an indicator of the company’s green commitment, an official said Tuesday.
“What we do in Chattanooga is probably better than any plant in the world,” said Dieter Schleifer, VW’s manager of plant infrastructure in Chattanooga.
Mr. Schleifer, speaking at a roundtable of business people and public officials here, said the automaker takes green beyond complying with regulations.
“Energy savings is a key to saving money,” he said. “We try to build energy-efficient buildings.”
Mr. Schleifer talked about VW’s $1 billion plant at the roundtable by Tennessee Business Leaders for a Clean Economy.
