Fiat 500

Although the company's executive committee has not yet made the final decision, the Serbian press is busy reporting hat the factory will be built "in Sumadija" - i.e., Serbia's central region.

The model's working mark is "601," according to the paper.

The article added that Alfredo Leggero, head of manufacturing for EMEA region at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, has already arrived in Serbia, as has Silvia Vernetti, who is in charge of the plant in Kragujevac.

Meanwhile, a deal is expected to be reached with the Serbian partner on Tuesday or Wednesday.

As the Fiat Chrysler Group, like other large carmakers, does not have cars in stock but aligns the manufacturing process with the orders coming from dealerships - so the Kragujevac-based factory had 105 working days this year through the last weekend, producing over 43,000 vehicles of all versions of the Fiat 500L model.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) Serbia will on May 25 announce the start of manufacturing of a new Fiat 500L model.

Starting from this year, this car will be manufactured in FCA's plant in Kragujevac, central Serbia, the company announced.
