Volkswagen recently rolled a brand for its eco-friendly initiatives: Think Blue. In its own words Volkswagen is going beyond “green” to build a better car in a plant. The idea is that Volkswagen will use state-of-the-art equipment and green technology to manufacture vehicles in its new plant in Chattanooga.
