HARRISBURG — A South Korean electric car company wants to build its first North American assembly and sales facilities in Pennsylvania.

Gov. Ed Rendell and CT&T Co. Ltd. officials said in a joint statement Friday that the facilities would create 400 jobs.

The company is considering sites in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

Rendell says the company's arrival is the latest step in Pennsylvania's efforts to become a home for green technologies and energy.

CT&T President Young Gi Lee says the company wants the Pennsylvania facilities to be the first of 40 regional assembly and sales systems in North America.

A spokesman for the Rendell administration says officials are working on a financial incentives package with CT&T, but nothing is final yet.
