German automobile conglomerate Volkswagen AG will invest 12 billion yuan ($1.95 billion) to build its first plant in Central China, in a bid to help increase its capacity to meet the rising demand from the world's largest vehicle market and respond to the similar move its major rival General Motors announced last month.
