Hyundai Motor has stopped plans to produce pick-up trucks at a new Kia factory in the US and may make more fuel efficient Hyundai cars there instead.
The decision was due to falling demand for ‘gas-guzzling’ vehicles amid record high oil prices, according to ft.com.
The report said Kia had planned to build mid-sized trucks at a new factory in Georgia.
Hyundai would review the plan when US economic conditions improve, it added.
