Slovakia makes more cars per head than any other country. Low wages is an incentive but getting enough workers for future expansion is an issue. Not a bad problem to have, I suppose. So what do they make here?
Kia: The Sportage and Ceed were the two main ones in 2018.
PSA: Citroën make the C3 and Peugeot the 208.
VW Group: They do mainly the Up!, Touareg, Citigo and Q7.

Land Rover and Porsche are additions to the production scheme of things for 2019. The numbers indicated that maybe a ceiling had been reached, However, it seems likely the one million number will be passed in 2019.
