Last July discontinued Fiat with the production of the Bravo in his Italian factory in Cassino. The successor, however, goes to the nose of the Italian factory worker over, because this rolls out in 2016 in Turkey of the band.

Ties between Fiat and Turkey’s existence for decades, the Tofasjes that flock in Turkey, driving around in the base all Fiats, and the Italians have, together with partner Koç Holding a majority stake in Tofas.

800 million euro

For the conclusion of the Bravo successor invests Fiat approximately 800 million euros in the factory in Bursa, turkey, found Automotive News. This means a further boost for the car industry there, which with an annual output of 1.25 million copies already the fifth producer of ‘Europe’ is. In addition to the new Bravo is going to Tofas also a sedan, to build the (not-available) Linea replace.

The decision will undoubtedly be bad blood at the Italiaase trade unions: the 500L is already in Serbia produced, and all 500 messages roles still in Poland of the band. However: Cassino is currently producing the Giulietta, and the facility in Melfi was the addition of the 500X and the Jeep Renegade.

Update: initially it was incorrectly mentioned that the Bravo in Melfi was produced. This is adjusted to Cassino.
