Electric Cars To Be Built In Saint John

Get ready for Bricklin deja vu - a Chinese manufacturer of electric cars plans on setting up shop here in the Port City. 

The Ningbo Jiuding Machinery Corp. plans to build a manufacturing plant at one of the city's industrial parks.

Speaking through a translator, CEO Jason Yuan says things are still in the early stages as the cars still need to be approved over here.

The plan is to have the cars sold in all over the world, including here in Saint John, and Yuan says our port makes the shipping process very ideal.

No word yet on when the plant will be built.
