Cars

After the II World War, the Polish government decided on rebuilding of the Polish car industry, which can be traced back to 1919. In July 1948, construction of Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych began in the Żeran district of Warsaw.

Over 54 years, 3.6 million cars were manufactured at the Żeran factory. The FSO brand cars can be seen inter alia on the roads of: Great Britain, Czech Republic and Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, countries of former Yugoslavia, France, China, Iran, Iraque, and Columbia, Peru and many others.

On November 11 2007, i.e. on the 56th anniversary of FSO’s foundation, the first Chevrolet Aveo made in the European Union rolled off the A assembly line. In the summer 2008, the four-door notchback was followed by a five-door hatchback, and in the winter 2008, 3-door hatchbacks were released by the factory. The presently basic FSO product, made in 3 body versions, is the Company’s driving force.
