First new Kia auto rolls off assembly line

The first Kia Cerato-Forte rolled out from the Thaco Kia Auto Plant in Quang Nam Province late last week.

Tran Ba Duong, president and CEO of Truong Hai Auto Corporation (Thaco), said it was the first Kia car to be assembled outside Kia production lines in South Korea.

Located on 32ha in Chu Lai Economic Zone in Quang Nam’s Nui Thanh District, Thaco Kia Auto Plant opened in July 2007.

Thaco said they invested VND1.1 trillion (US$57.5 million) in the plant, one of the most modern auto manufacturing facilities in Southeast Asia.
