Hyundai considers shifting production to Czech site: press

South Korean car giant Hyundai is considering the Czech Republic as one possible site for launching production of its i20 model in Europe, the daily Pravo reported on Saturday. Other contenders for production of the small car currently produced in India are Slovakia and Turkey. Hyundai wants to launch European production to cut transport costs to its main markets in Britain, Germany, France and Italy. The company already produces cars at its Nošovice plant in eastern Moravia.
