Fiat Kragujevac to operate at one fourth of its capacities

After the traditional three-week collective vacation, the production in Fiat Chrysler Automobiles continued on August 22. The production will also be restarted in the facilities of FCA Serbia's main subcontractors (Magneti Marelli, Johnson Control, Sigit, PMC and HTL), located in the industrial zone in the Kragujevac neighborhood of Grosnica.

The production will continue in two shifts, since Fiat let go several hundred workers due to reduced demand for the model 500. Due to this, around 400 instead of 650 cars will leave the assembly lines daily.

It is expected that the Kragujevac factory will produce around 70,000 Fiats 500L by the end of 2016, which means that merely a fourth of FCA Serbia's projected capacities will be used. The decision on canceling the third shift and laying off workers was made due to the lowered presence in the market, especially in America.
