Autosan plans to assemble buses in Belarus and Iraq

"Together with the local transportation company we've registered Autosan Brześć, which will assemble 250 smaller Autosan buses within the next three years," said Franciszek Gaik, president of Polskie Autobusy (PA), a managing company of Autosan. The plan follows an earlier attempt of PA to start production in Kaliningrad, which failed due to lack of demand. This time, Autosan plans to locate production sites not only in former Soviet republics, but also in Arab countries, including Iraq. However, the diminishing domestic market remains to be of vital importance to the company. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 9) M.K.
