China is now making automobiles in the U.S. - in Oklahoma, to be precise.
An article in the Huffington Post earlier this month pointed out that Chongqing ChangAn Automobile Co., Ltd. has begun production of The Tiger Champ at an assembly line in Oklahoma. Production began on July 31st.
This first Chinese-designed and engineered vehicle assembled in America and meant for the US market is being manufactured under the US name Tiger Trucks.
According to the Huffington Post, "The Oklahoma plant assembles the truck from parts and kits shipped from China; they also say about 50% of the parts used in final assembly will be US-sourced. About 100 employees are working at the company's first US facility."
Chongqing ChangAn is China's third largest car maker. They have a partnership in China with Ford Motor Company. Their first US-made vehicle is a utility truck designed for college campuses, industrial complexes, and golf courses. It will be a legal on-road vehicle only in Oklahoma. Top speed is about 55mph. It's priced at just under $13K...
