In the 50 years since it opened, the factory has produced 18 different models and more than 16 million vehicles.

Silva Bernardi, environment manager:

“2008 was highlighted by a sharp reduction in our VOC atmospheric emissions, following the shutdown of the 100% solvent-based paintwork line.  The actions taken as part of our continuous progress initiative to reduce our environmental impact have achieved satisfactory results."
