The Opel plant in Szentgotthárd was opened in 1992. The ultra-modern engine plant produces the new, very fuel-efficient three and four-cylinder gasoline engines with 1.0 to 1.6-liter displacement as well as the newest generation of mid-size diesel engines.
In 2012, a new, extremely flexible engine plant was opened. The plant’s world-class flexibility enables swift adaptation of the production program to quickly react to changing market demand.
