Serial production of Fiat 500L will start in May in the Fiat automobili Srbija (FAS) factory in Kraguejvac, FAS CEO Antonio Cesare Ferrara said Wednesday.
Noting that the 500L model, which had its world premiere at the Geneva car show on Tuesday, is composed of 5,000 parts, Ferrara reminded that three suppliers are building production facilities inside the factory compund in Kragujevac.
Another four production facilities are being built in the suppliers’ park, Ferrara told reporters after he and Kragujevac Mayor Veroljub Stevanovic visited works on traffic routes which connect the factory with the production plants of Fiat’s main suppliers.
He added that the number of subcontractors who will produce parts in Kragujevac will increase.
Mayor Stevanovic promised that the three kilometers of road and three bridges which will connect the car factory with the suppliers park will be finished on time.
“The project is worth close to EUR 3 million and is financed by the Serbian government, which chose the contractors,” said Stevanovic.
