Volvo invests in Indian manufacturing plant

Swedish truck maker Volvo is investing in a plant capable of manufacturing Euro IV, V and VI equivalent trucks through its joint venture with Indian vehicle manufacturer Eicher.

The plant will be based at Eicher base in Pithampur, central India, and have an annual capacity of 100,000 engine units, according to local media sources. Nearly half of its output will be used for Volvo's markets outside of India.

Volvo-Eicher announced that the joint venture would start producing buses in the second half of 2010, with other heavy-duty vehicles to follow later in the year.
