In the next ten days, as Novosti finds out, a decision on production of new fiat model in Kragujevac which should be produced already in 2016 is about to be made. According to unofficial information in one of the most modern Fiat plants in the world, in our country, new panda or some of the models from the 500 family, a hatchback or a sports car.

Still, Fiat as well as other big car producers, hesitates to talk about their development plans. It is only definite that next week, the delegation of the Serbian government will visit the Torino-based Fiat headquarters where it will present the idea of the Prime Minister, Aleksandar Vucic, who said he will ask the heads of Torino-based giant to make another car model in Serbia.

It is a vehicle from the so-called B segment which would, when it comes to price, would be more attractive for the Serbian market but would, of course, be exported where, thanks to fiat 500 l success, would have a safe way to go.

At Djudrdjevdan, in Michigan, in one of Fiat Group headquarters, General Manager of the company, Sergio Marchionne, presented plans of this giant until 2018 to investors.

The objective is to increase sales from 4.4m units last year to seven million in the next four years.

Marchionne presented plans for all brands (fiat, Chrysler, dodge, jeep, alfa-romeo, maserati, ferrari) and what interests us the most is the expectation that Fiat sales increase from 1,5 mil in 2013 to 1,9 mil vehicles in 2018 which implies more new models, sub compact vehicle, small pickup, primarily planned for USA market, as well as 500H crossover. The primary model for the European market will be based on new panda as well as on the model from B segment which should be a successor of grande punto.

At the same time, Fiat announced production of cheaper vehicles for th markets of China and India which will compete with the similar models of the companies Dacia (Renault), Peugeot, Volkswagen, etc.
