Hyundai Motor said on Tuesday it had agreed to jointly produce commercial vehicles in Turkey with the country’s light commercial vehicle maker Karsan, without providing further details.

The agreement came after Hyundai signed a US$557m joint venture deal with Chinese commercial vehicle maker Sichuan Nanjun Automobile Group in April as part of a move to raise its commercial vehicle sales in China to 160,000 units by 2015, more than double the 2011 target of 73,000 units, Reuters reported.

Hyundai said in a statement it expected its recent deals to lift its commercial vehicle sales to 300,000 units in 2015, up from an estimated 82,000 units for 2011.
