Ssangyong Motor Co., the smallest carmaker in South Korea, said Thursday it will supply 1,000 units of the Korando Turismo multi-purpose vehicle to Morocco where they will be used as taxis.
The deal came after the Moroccan government approved the Korando Turismo for use as taxis last year. Demand for taxis in the North African country will likely expand further as the government plans to grant subsides to replace old taxis with new ones.
