Volkswagen Confirms $1 Billion Dollar Manufacturing Plant in Tennessee

As other automakers cut back, Volkswagen says it will invest almost a billion dollars in a new plant near Chattanooga, Tennessee. The factory will make a new midsize car designed for American drivers. Great news for us here in the States! And it is expected to cost $1 Billion to build and employ around 2,000 employees.

New Tank or Just Volkswagen's New Armored Truck ?

When you think of armored trucks, the first thought that probably comes to mind is an image of the boxy blue and gray behemoths that are the International trucks Brinks uses to haul around their bricks of cash and gold. It doesn’t really get more gangster than that unless you’re pushing a tank or Volkswagen’s new 9.150 ECE armored transport vehicle.

Made for the Brazilian market, the 9.150 ECE either looks like an extra from the Transformers movie or an ice cream truck…if the truck was owned by T.I. and he was peddling automatic weapons. Details on its security technology are scant, but from the looks of it, we’re sure it can make big guns go ping ping. Word to Curtis. It’s powered by a 4 liter turbocharged diesel engine that puts out a paltry 150hp, but then delivers a whopping 405 lb-ft of torque. That grunt is needed to haul the bricks, ya dig? Brinks needs to holler at VW immediately.
