Hyundai to Increase Output in Czech Republic

Hyundai Motor Co. says it will hike production 2% to 350,000 vehicles this year at its factory in Nosovice, Czech Republic.

Last year the facility’s output rose 4% to 342,200 vehicles, Reuters reports. The plant, which includes a transmission shop, opened in 2006 with annual capacity to build 300,000 vehicles. It has surpassed that volume since 2011.
