Hisashi Takeuchi expressed his hope to contribute Hungary’s economic growth and informed about a EUR 200 million investment to launch a new model.
Viktor Orbán has stated more times that the Hungarian government supports all the big multinational companies whose aim is not to make fast and easy profit but those ones who are planning to invest and stay in Hungary for a longer period, mainly manufacturers.
The Hungarian government has made similar agreements with four other multinational companies, namely with Coca-Cola, pharmaceutical firm Gedeon Richter, aluminium company Alcoa-Kofem and German car manufacturer Daimler.
