Fiat-Sollers was a joint venture between Fiat S.p.A. and Sollers JSC (formerly Severstal Avto). Each company had a 50% share in the venture, and the product range was determined by Fiat.[1]
Overview
It had its origins in January 2006, when a licensing agreement was first signed between the two companies. As part of the deal, Severstal Avto became the distributor of the full range of Fiat cars and commercial vehicles.[2] Fiat-branded cars from the venture were launched at the Moscow International Automobile Salon of 2006.[3]
Complete knock-down kits of the Fiat Albea sedan and Fiat Doblò van were assembled for the Russian market in Naberezhnye Chelny,[4]
