This plant has annual production capacity of 150,000 vehicles through a two-shift system and brings together production processes including car body production, painting, and assembly, as well as the production engineering division that provides support for these production processes, as well as headquarter functions. Currently, we product two models: "NV200 Vanette", "AD".
