Poland Automotive Industry
In 1992 the Polish automotive industry was expecting to
modernize through a series of joint ventures with Western
firms.
In 1992 Fiat Corporation, the pioneer of Western
automobile
production in Eastern Europe since 1973, invested in
Polish
production of a new model at its Bielsko-Biala plant. Fiat
was to
arrange for export of a large part of the output of that
model.
Also in 1992, General Motors Europe, the European branch
of the
United States automotive giant, was expected to begin
assembling
cars in Warsaw by agreement with the Warsaw-based
Passenger Car
Plant. Volvo of Sweden planned to produce buses, trucks,
and
tractors at a plant near Wroclaw following the signing of
a joint
venture agreement in early 1992.
