Opel Magyarország is expecting to raise the number of new cars sold to above 10,000 this year. Opel is a leader in the Hungarian passenger car market with a share of 13.59%.

Opel launched serial production of small gas engines at its base in Szentgotthárd in western Hungary in July. The launch completed the product palette at Opel’s €700 mln plant which began operating early in 2013. The plant is capable of turning out an annual 650,000 1.4-, 1.6- and 1.8-liter gasoline and diesel engines, but output is expected to reach 560,000 units by 2016.
