Output from the Warsaw-based firm declined at least 60.0% for
each model, except the Tacuma minivan (which was only launched launched last
December).

The performance appears to be worsening: production in June
alone sank 82.8%.

The contraction reflects the depressed market in Poland –
plus the shaken consumer confidence in Daewoo amid the highly publicised uncertainty
of the Korean brand’s future.
