The
General Motors-Fiat alliance will soon see GM’s new Rayong Zafira minivan plant
in Thailand assembling the Alfa Romeo 156 for Asia-Pacific markets, industry sources
say.
The
deal will give Fiat relatively easy access to local production facilities for
the many markets in the region still protected by various measures to encourage
local assembly. It will also boost Rayong’s capacity utilisation, the sources
added.
