DAIMLER MAY EXPAND BUS CAPACITY
Daimler AG, the world's largest maker of commercial
vehicles, may raise its production capacity for buses in Indonesia
as much as 15-fold.
The company may invest 10 million euros ($16
million) to expand capacity at its factory in Bogor, West
Java, Rudi Borgenheimer, president of Mercedes-Benz Indonesia,
said in Jakarta.
The company forecasts Indonesia sales of its
buses and cars will double this year to 3,000 vehicles.
Daimler may use the country as a manufacturing
base for exports of buses to Southeast Asia and Africa and
will decide on expansion in the next six months, Borgenheimer
said.
After the investment, Daimler's capacity could
rise to 9,000 buses a year from the current 600.
