Hey fellas, I decided to open a thread about the automobile industry in EE, cause we are witnessing a boom of investments in that sector here. So share with us details of this industry in your country. I know that we're not exactly producing SUVs and cars here but we're still producing at least car parts which is equally as important and lucrative. So share news, post pictures etc. just be constructive. Also, post news/pics of plants that are already producing or that are U/C - no need to post announcements and promises or early interests from companies.

So this is about what I know for Macedonia (I'm sure the other Macedonians around can add other stuff too)

- Johnson Controls are constructing a factory near Skopje for electronics for cars.
- there's also a plant in Struga (I think) for seat belts that has mainly exported it's products in Russia.

btw, do you know how jokingly we were translating ZAZ in bulgarian durign communism ?

ZAZ -> Завод Автомобилньх Зверей :lol: (Factory for Automobile Beasts)

АЗЛК was known as .... Ах Защо Ли те Купих! (Ах , почему я купил тебя! - Oh Why did i bought you ?!?

Octavia hatchback:


Roomster MPV:




Superb:


Yeti concept (production scheduled to start in 2008):

This is what is assembled in Slovenia:

Renault Twingo (exclusively in Slovenia)


Renault Clio Campus (also known as Storia in some markets, exclusively in Slovenia)


However, we also build parts for many car makers, for example seat apoulstry for Volkswagen, headlights for Renault, frames for Mercedes Benz. We also make Marbus (former TAM) and Neoplan buses.

Neoplan's airport buses are made in the Marbus assembly plant for example:


And here are some of Marbus' own brand:


Akrapovič, which makes some very well-known motorcycle exhaust systems, is also based in Slovenia and so is Adria Mobil, which makes popular caravans and camping vans.
