Geely Auto is planning to assemble vehicles in Vietnam as part of a series of commitments worth nearly $170 million to expand production in the Southeast Asian country.

The Chinese auto brand will build a plant in Vietnam capable of producing 75,000 cars annually in a joint venture with Hanoi-based Tasco Joint Stock Company, Geely said in a statement Tuesday. The automaker will also invest in building out the local supply chain and establish an automotive research and development center.
