Car production to almost double by end-year – Piechociński

The Economy Ministry estimates that by the end of 2014, the number of passenger cars and vans produced in Poland will grow to 600,000-610,000, Deputy Prime Minister and Economy Minister Janusz Piechociński was quoted as saying by the Polish Press Agency. “We will see if the forecast comes true, because we are in a period of uncertainty. [Automotive] concerns estimated that the biggest import market would be Russia,” Piechociński said at a press conference. Earlier this month, sector research firm Samar said that the volume of passenger car and van production in January-August 2014 was at 394,624.
