PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News Network): Toyota Tsusho Manufacturing (Cambodia) Co Ltd plans to ramp up imports of hybrid vehicles (HV) into the kingdom, as part of a campaign to encourage Cambodians to switch to the eco-friendly transportation alternative and reduce fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, according to a transport ministry statement.

The plan was revealed during a meeting between company CEO Ryoji Fujita and Minister of Public Works and Transport Sun Chanthol at the ministry on October 11, the statement noted. This comes just over a month after the firm received government approval to set up a vehicle assembly plant in the capital.
