HANOI - Ford Motor Co said on Tuesday it is investing $82 million to expand its plant in northern Vietnam to boost production capacity. Ford Vietnam, established in 1995, said the expanded factory would boost the U.S. automaker’s annual capacity in Vietnam to 40,000 vehicles from current volume of 14,000 units per year.The additional investment, which will bring the company’s total investments in Vietnam to more than $200 million, will come in two stages over a two-year period starting this year.
Deputy Trade Minister Do Than Hai said he expected the expansion would reduce Vietnam’s reliance on imported vehicles and therefore lower the country’s trade deficit. The construction will expand the facility across an additional 60,000 square meters of land, bringing the total area to 226,000 square meters.
