VW U.S. chief aims to continue big gains

AUTOMOTIVE NEWS: How much room does the Chattanooga plant have to increase capacity? JONATHAN BROWNING: A lot of room. If you look at the site, the existing plant only occupies half of it. You could increase capacity in the existing facility up to 250,000, potentially, and then you can essentially replicate, mirror it again on the other half of the site. You could -- and this isn't an announcement, there is no timing -- you could go up to 500,000.
