TOKYO -- Isuzu Motors says output of diesel engines at its Polish factory will rebound somewhat this fiscal year. Diesel engine production in the fiscal year that began April 1 will total 158,000, up from 147,000 in the fiscal year to March 31. That will still be below the 239,000 produced in the previous fiscal year.

Isuzu made the forecast as part of its outlook for the current fiscal year. Isuzu posted record profits in the fiscal year that ended March 31, but warned that lower commercial truck demand in Japan will cut profits this year.

Isuzu Motors Polska, known as Ispol, is located in Tychy, Poland. Its main customer aside from Isuzu is General MotorsÆ European operations. It has been underutilized for several years.
