Mazda May Buy MPVs from Suzuki in Indonesia

Suzuki Motor Corp., which supplies minicars to Mazda Motor Corp. in Japan, will soon begin building small MPVs in Indonesia for Mazda to sell there, The Nikkei reports.

The newspaper, which doesn't cite sources, says Suzuki will provide about 10,000 Mazda-badged versions of its Ertiga MPV annually.

The arrangement will expand Mazda's vehicle lineup in the country and boost Suzuki's capacity utilization there, the Nikkei notes.
