Initially these vehicles would be marketed locally for a period of 3 years and thereafter the vehicles manufactured will be exported to overseas markets.
There is also a potential for export vehicles which would be petrol/electric/ hybrid vehicles to be built without the concessions that have been given for assembling diesel vehicles. The total value of this project will be an investment of US$26.5 million of which 21.5 million will be invested in fixed assets within a period of 24 months.
As Volkswagen is currently the world leader in Automobile manufacture, recently overtaking Toyota of Japan, this project is a very high profile one and a statement about Sri Lanka’s growing attractiveness as a destination for investment. BOI is very keen to attract other leading automobile manufacturers into the country as the industry creates opportunities for the creation of local component manufacturers that can supply the building of a complex product such as passenger car. It is estimated that the assembly plant will be operational within a period of 30 months.
