Slovakian automobile factory to manufacture Pro-cee'd early
A factory developing Kia vehicles in Slovakia is to begin producing the latest Pro-cee'd model six weeks ahead of schedule.The Zilina plant employs 2,600 staff, who have been working hard to improve efficiency at the site.
According to Kia, the factory will "go forwards to establish new benchmarks for vehicle quality and productivity".
"[The car] will expand our appeal to a different audience and will attract numerous European consumers who find three-door cars particularly attractive and who have not yet considered our products," commented Jean-Charles Lievens, Kia Motors Europe senior vice president.
Since the vehicle debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, it has also received a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating, which Mr Lievens believes will see the car fly out of UK dealerships upon release in February 2008.
Established in 1944, Kia is South Korea's second-largest automobile manufacturing company.
