Poland's car production halved in ten years
- Unlike the Czech Republic and Slovakia, whose car production volume has increased significantly since the beginning of the 21st century (see graph), the volume of car production in Poland has been halved in ten years, from 1 000 000 units in 2009 to 500,000 in 2018.
- Poland has attracted less automobile manufacturers than the Czech Republic and Slovakia. And no manufacturer has built a new factory in Poland, except Wrzesnia (Volkswagen) which has a limited production capacity.
- In addition, Poland underwent the bankruptcy of Daewoo-FSO (a time related to Chevrolet) in 2012 and the transfer of the Fiat Panda from the Tichy site to the Italian plant in Pomigliano (Naples).
- The Lancia Ypsilon that arrived at the Tichy site in 2011 did not compensate for the volume lost during the transfer of the Fiat Panda in 2012, and moreover the Ypsilon production stoppage is scheduled in 2019.
- Recent announcements of plant construction in Central Europe, such as Volkswagen in Romania or Bulgaria, Jaguar Land-Rover in Slovakia and BMW in Hungary, show that Poland is no longer attractive in today's European automobile industrial landscape.
