Volkswagen AG Chairman Martin Winterkorn today in Chattanooga predicted success for the new midsize sedan that will be made at the automaker’s plant in the city.
“I think we’re on the right way,” Dr. Winterkorn said after a tour of the $1 billion plant that is under construction.
Dr. Winterkorn, who was accompanied by Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen, said he is deeply impressed by the progress of the project.
“I look forward to being in Chattanooga again for the opening of the factory,” he said.
Dr. Winterkorn visited the body, paint and assembly shops inside the plant and he met with managers of each of the areas.
