Opel is moving production of its light commercial vehicle model Combo to Türkiye from the third quarter of this year, the German automaker said Monday.
The announcement comes just two weeks after another Stellantis-owned carmaker, Peugeot, said it would begin producing its Rifter light commercial vehicle in Türkiye.
The Combo will be manufactured at a Turkish carmaker Tofaş's plant in the northwestern Bursa province. Peugeot's Rifter will also be produced at the same factory.
The Combo will roll off the production line with a "Made in Türkiye" label that will strengthen the carmaker's position in the country's light commercial vehicle market through local manufacturing.
The Bursa plant will add the Combo to Opel's locally produced commercial vehicle lineup. The carmaker had earlier produced Zafira, Vivaro and Vivaro Van models at the facility.
