Chinese carmaker Chery Auto plans to set up a new car manufacturing plant in northwestern Turkey, an executive of the company said on Thursday.
Chery Turkiye Sales Director Gokhan Altmisdort said that Chery aims to manufacture 100,000 cars a year in its new plant.
"This is nearly 10 percent of Chery's overall output," Altmisdort said.
He said the new plant would possibly be built in Karasu town of the northwestern province of Sakarya, adding that it would create 10,000 jobs.
