Ford Motor yesterday said it will begin building a new plant in Nanchang, capital of Jiangxi Province, next year.
The plant will begin operations in 2013, Ford Asia-Pacific and Africa President Joe Hinrichs said at a meeting with Jiangxi Governor Wu Xinxiong.
Ford hopes to boost Nanchang's auto industry and will increase its stake in Nanchang-based Jiangling Motors Co, Hinrichs added.
Ford has a 30 percent stake in Jiangling.
