Thanks to its contracts with customers in Western Europe, FSO, the Warsaw based auto maker, is to increase production in the months to come, the daily Dziennik Gazeta Prawna reported.
The growing demand for the Chevrolet Aveo’s made by FSO is the result of South Korean won strengthening against the euro, making it more expensive to import the cars from South Korea.
FSO plans to make 3 thousand Aveo’s monthly in October and February and at least 2 thousand per month in November, December and January.
However, the plant may have to face a strike, as some of its employees disagree with plans to cut wages and lay-off pay, among other reasons.
FSO has been in trouble for more than ten months as a result of the world financial crisis and a drop in orders. The car maker has already suspended production a few times this year.
