Overview
Overview
The vehicle production, which existed between 1998 and 2008, was terminated due to the abolition of the tariffs between the EU and Bosnia and Herzegovina that existed until then. An electric van has been manufactured in the factory since 2009. Sarajevo d.o.o. became a chassis components factory since 2011, with the factory focus also shifting towards production of special structures for the transport of parts.
