Awto-FSO, Ukrainian cars made in Poland?
So far there is no word on what AwtoZAZ would be producing in Żerań, but it is unlikely to be its flagship models such as Slavuta or Tavria, which could only be marketed in the East. Wojciech Drzewiecki, head of the automotive market research company Samar, says that a possible choice is a cheap General Motors model, most notably one of the former Daewoo cars, now branded as Chevrolets. AwtoZAZ has considerable experience in assembling cars licensed from well-known automotive firms, such as the GM's Opel Astra. Roman Kantorski, president of the Polish Automotive Chamber (PIM), says that FSO also needs to get rid of unnecessary real estate. (Puls Biznesu, p. 6) T.J.
