South Korea will spend 640 billion won (US$544 million) to develop new automobile types by 2010 in an effort to become the world's fourth-strongest car manufacturing country, according to a government team responsible for boosting the industry Monday. 

The project was announced by Yu Yeong-myeon, the head of the team, at a seminar at the Busan Exhibition & Convention Center (BEXCO) on South Korea's southeast coast. 

The government and a group of private enterprises will invest 320 billion won each in the long-term plan for the development of new car types. Automobiles were selected last year as one of the country's 10 next-generation growth engines. 

The project consists of nine tasks including three core developments -- the creation of fuel-cell cars, hybrid veehicles and intelligent automobiles.
