Audi currently lacks its own manufacturing facility in the U.S. and intends to start assembling several of its most popular models in that region. The company is set to reveal the selected site for the factory later this year, said the company’s CEO Gernot Döllner.
Mercedes-Benz plans to enlarge its manufacturing plant located in Alabama, USA. Simultaneously, BMW, which also manufactures in the U.S., thinks it can operate as it currently does. BMW CEO Oliver Zipse stated that they have extensive production facilities in the U.S. and maintain strong ties with the leaders of South Carolina, the state hosting this production.
In 2024, the three leading German car manufacturers represented 73% of EU vehicle exports to the US. As stated by Guillaume Dejean, an automotive market specialist at Allianz Trade, “regardless of the outcome of this trade war, German automakers will likely be the losers in nearly every scenario.”
