Seoul, May 16 (Ians) Automaker Kia will build a new electric vehicle (Ev) plant in northern Mexico, a Mexican governor said on Tuesday.
While he did not elaborate on the details, like what models will be manufactured in a new plant, the governor uploaded a photo of Kia’s EV9 SUV. He originally said an estimated investment could reach around $1 billion but later deleted the part from the post.
“More good news! Nuevo Leon consolidates as the Electromobility Hub: Kia once again bets on Nuevo Leon with an investment to expand its plant and produce two Kia car models,” Samuel Garcia, governor of the northeast state of Nuevo Leon, tweeted earlier in the day.
He was in Seoul for an international forum seeking cooperation between South Korea and Latin America, reports Yonhap news agency.
Kia said it was considering the issue with a mid- to long-term perspective, but that nothing has been fixed yet.
