ĐÀ NẴNG — TCIE Việt Nam company, a member of Malaysia’s Tan Chong Motor Group, will build a new car factory in Hòa Khánh industrial zone factory in the central city from 2019 with total investment of US$50 million.

The city’s Investment Promotion Agency (IPA) confirmed to Việt Nam News that the company has completed procedures to soon commence the project.

The agency said TCIE Việt Nam had invested $55 million between 2013-17 to produce the first locally-assembled Nissan Sunny and Nissan X-Trail SUV car models from the Đà Nẵng-based factory – the first and only Nissan Sunny assembly plant in central Việt Nam.

In a meeting with the city’s leadership last month, TCIE said it would increase investment to $150 million in the coming years to promote production and sales of cars in the central and nationwide market.

TCIE said it sold 3,500 Nissan Sunny models in 2018 and contributed VNĐ2.2 trillion ($97 million) to the city’s budget.

The company plans to produce 5,100 cars with an estimate contribution of $110 million to the city’s budget in 2019.

TCIE also plans to produce Nissan vans and Nissan trucks in the near future. — VNS
