One millionth Kia rolls off production line
Kia Motors Slovakia has produced the one millionth vehicle at its factory in Zilina – a white, diesel-engined cee'd SW. The car was immediately handed over to a Slovakian children's charity, the Red Nose Clowndoctors.
Production at the factory began five years ago and Kia Motors Slovakia recorded a 10 per cent year-on-year increase in car production and a 12 per cent year-on-year increase in engine production during 2011, when it produced more than 252,000 cars and 359,000 engines.
The company launched a third shift this year and increased the number of employees to 3,900. The company is currently preparing for production of the second generation of the cee’d model during the second quarter.
