500,000th unit of Fiat 500L model rolled out in Serbia
Production record at Kragujevac plant, restructured in 2012

(ANSA) - BELGRADE - The 500,000th Fiat 500L left Fiat
Chrysler Automobiles' (FCA) Kragujevac plant in central Serbia
on Thursday, in testament to the success of the model launched
in 2012.
The vehicle that marked the important objective was an orange
500L Cross 1.6 Multijet 120 HP with a black roof, FCA Serbia
said in a statement.
The 500L has for five years been firmly at the top of its segment in Europe, and the absolute leader in Italy and Spain.
In 2017 the Fiat 500L reached a market share of nearly 22% in Europe and of over 52% in Italy.
The new Cross and City Cross models, launched last year, have contributed to the results by accentuating the model's crossover appeal. Sales in early 2018 have also been positive, with 5% year-on-year growth in Europe. It is no accident that the new production record has been established at the Kragujevac plant, which was given a 1-billion-dollar renovation precisely in order to produce the 500L and reopened in April 2012. Today it is one of the most modern FCA plants in the world, FCA Serbia said. (ANSA).
