TOKYO -- Nidec will expand a Chinese site still under construction in order to double capacity for electric vehicle motors, Nikkei has learned, as the maker of precision motors found in computer hard drives chases a growth field fueled by Beijing's stronger environmental regulations.
The Japanese motor maker will invest 20 billion yen to 30 billion yen ($180 million to $270 million) to build a second manufacturing facility adjoining a Zhejiang Province factory now under construction.
