Comercializadora Todeschini has been the official importer of the brand since 1999, when Fiat stopped production in Venezuela.


Comercializadora Todeschini has bought Fiat’s mothballed La Victoria plant and will re-open it next January to assemble Uno CKD kits shipped from Brazil.


Fiat do Brasil expects to ship about 10,000 kits to Venezuela in 2005, and 15,000 in 2006.


The Venezuelan plant will build the Uno with an 1.3-litre eight-valve petrol engine. The model will be included in a government programme where cars with engines sized between 1.3-litre and 1.6-litres benefit from reduced taxation and special finance plans.
