Hyundai Construction said it plans to jack up its sales in North America by 40 percent this year. The company also seeks to raise its sales in Europe by 10 percent in 2017.

The company, that was spun off from Hyundai Heavy in June, said earlier it aims to become one of the world's top five construction equipment makers by 2023 with sales reaching 7 trillion won.

Currently, its bigger rival Doosan Infracore Co. dominates the domestic construction equipment market. (Yonhap)
