Polish car-maker to unveil new models at German fair

"The official premiere will take place during the automotive fair in Hannover next week. We will also present the successor to the Honker off-road vehicle there," said Piotr Mazur, deputy president of the company. The firm will reveal the name of the new vehicle in Germany, but it is already known that investment outlays reached zl.100 million and thus the figure exceeded initial plans by zl.40 million. "Earlier we had anticipated that we would use more components from older models. Finally however, some suspension and engine components will be sourced from Iveco, e.g. components for the Lublin model. The remainder are fully new engineering solutions," explained Mazur. Despite earlier plans, production will be launched in Q2 of 2007 instead of Q1. (Puls Biznesu, pp.1, 7) M.M.
