Japan's Isuzu Motors plans China, India truck plants

Japan's Isuzu Motors will spend 30 billion yen (US$382 million) to build new factories in China and India to tap rising demand for pickup trucks in the fast-growing markets, a report said Tuesday.

 

The new plants will together produce about 200,000 trucks a year, boosting Isuzu's annual pickup capacity by about 50 percent to 600,000 by 2015, the Nikkei business daily reported without citing sources.
