Beiqi Foton Motor Co says it has reached a preliminary agreement to set up a truck-making joint venture with Daimler.
Preparations for setting up the venture, which would make medium- to heavy-duty trucks, are proceeding smoothly, Foton said in a statement.
It did not disclose any financial details or the potential size of the venture.
The companies are also exploring opportunities to form a global partnership, the statement added.
In December, Foton scrapped a share placement plan with DaimlerChrysler which would have given its potential partner a 24%.
