With an initial investment of 3.6 billion yuan (553.6 million U.S. dollars), the joint venture aims to have an annual production capacity of 150,000 commercial vehicles by 2013.

Sichuan Hyundai, which will be based in the city of Ziyang in Sichuan, will also produce clean energy vehicles, including electric and gas-powered vehicles, as part of its the mid- and long-term plan, it said.

The company is targeting a long-term annual production capacity of 700,000 units by 2020.
