Chinese electric truck startup Windrose plans to open a manufacturing plant for its fleet of semi-trucks in Georgia, according to Reuters.
Windrose founder and CEO Wen Han told the news outlet Friday it would build its first U.S. factory to assemble truck chassis and other Chinese-made vehicle parts into semi-trucks for the American market. Han did not say how much his company would invest in the U.S., and specifics around the planned factory were scant.
Other media reports said the factory will be located in Savannah, citing the Reuters report, which did not mention a specific site location within Georgia. On July 12, TruckingInfo.com was the first to report Windrose planned to establish assembly plants in Savannah for the U.S. market and Belgium for the European market.
The Savannah area is quickly becoming an epicenter of the state’s auto manufacturing industry because of Hyundai Motor Group’s $7.6 billion EV factory in Bryan County, which is likely to open during the fourth quarter of this year.
