Honda Motor’s Malaysian subsidiary plans to invest 100 million ringgit ($25 million) to boost capacity at its Malacca plant to meet rising demand, the Star newspaper reports.
The 170 million ringgit ($45 million) plant is operating beyond the designed capacity of 20,000 units a year, said Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd managing director Seiji Kuraishi.
