Ford eyeing Thailand for new eco-car
Bangkok (dpa) - US automotive giant Ford Motor has expressed interest in investing in a 1-billion-dollar factory to produce energy-efficient cars in Thailand, Industry Minister Kosit Panpiemras said Friday.
Kowit said Ford executives had informed him that Thailand was one of three countries they were appraising for the new investment, the Thai News Agency reported.
Thailand's Board of Investment is working on details to provide tax incentives for investments in an eco-car in the country, but details will not be completed until March, the minister said.
Thailand is already the world's second-largest assembler and manufacturer of 1-ton pickup trucks and is hoping to turn the kingdom into a hub for eco-car production in the future.
