Chinese Trucks Being Made in America

We’re not talking about Wuzheng trucks, we’re talking about Tiger Trucks!

Tiger Truck announced Tuesday that it will build the first U.S. assembly plant in Jasper, Texas, for vehicles based on designs by China’s third largest car manufacturer, ChangAn Automobile Group.

The Jasper facility, with a capacity of 7,500 vehicles annually, will employ 100 workers and the first “Made in U.S.” vehicles are expected to leave the production line in early 2008.

Tiger Truck, a privately-held company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is the exclusive importer, distributor and now U.S. manufacturer for ChangAn, which in China has manufacturing agreements with Suzuki, Ford and Mazda.

It seems Tiger Trucks are making the Chang’an Mian Bao Che that we talked about yesterday.
