Chinese Trucks Head to Vietnam
Sinotruk, the China's largest maker of heavy trucks, is aiming to
sell up to 2,500 vehicles in Vietnam next year, as economic growth in
the southeast Asian nation boosts demand for logistics and vehicles. It
has signed an agreement with TMT Auto, Vietnam's largest
commercial-vehicle distributor, and the first 500 trucks will be
delivered in March 2008.
