Fiat to produce Panda exclusively in Poland – RP

According to the daily Rzeczpospolita, Fiat will announce its decision to shift Panda production exclusively to Poland in September this year. The move will cost Fiat Chrysler PLN 1.5 billion with 800 new workplaces being created in the Tychy plant. “The move was obvious for quite some time, but we're also fighting to produce another model there,” Henryka Bochniarz from the plant's management board said. The extended production should start in 2019-2020. Fiat's Italian plant in Pomigliano from where the manufacturing will be transferred, will make one of the company's premium models instead.
