Volkswagen is sinking $580m into a new Amarok for South America, built at its Pacheco plant in Argentina from 2027 - a plant with 770,000 pick-ups and 15 years of local know-how behind it. The detail that matters for UK fleets: existing Amarok production in South Africa stays put, so the version sold here is unaffected for now. But it's a clear signal of VW carving up its range by region rather than running one global platform. Worth watching, not yet acting on. (Volkswagen Newsroom)
