Nippondenso helps supply Timor

TOKYO: Japanese component manufacturer, Nippondenso, plans to
help South Korean parts maker, Poong-sung Electric Co, supply
components for Indonesia's Timor car.

Poong-sung is an affiliate of Kia Motor Corp and plans to
build a plant in Indonesia to manufacture starter motors and
other electronic components.

However, the Japanese firm's offer of help will be limited to
technological areas and introducing parts suppliers because the
company does not want to offend Japanese, U.S. and European
carmakers who have complained about the tax concessions Timor
receives.

Nippondenso already has a plant in Indonesia producing air-
conditioning systems and radiators for a number of local
assemblers.
