Greece, 1979-1995
History
Automeccanica was a Greek automobile manufacturer established in 1979. It became known for producing the popular "passenger-utility" vehicles that were favored in Greece due to tax incentives. The company's founders were former leaders from Autokinitoviomihania Ellados, which had been set up in 1975 to create similar vehicles. This earlier company focused on assembling Italian Fissore models based on Fiat designs, along with various Fiat models and variations.
Automeccanica carved its niche by developing the Zebra model, a passenger-utility vehicle inspired by the Daihatsu Charade, alongside the assembly of the Charade itself. However, in 1985, when regulatory changes affected the Zebra-type vehicles, Automeccanica ceased production after approximately 2,000 units were completed. The company then shifted its focus to producing the Soviet Lada Niva under license, and it also worked on a cabriolet version of that model.
In 1988, Automeccanica took a significant step by acquiring its predecessor, Autokinitoviomihania Ellados, along with its factory located in Thiva. Ultimately, Automeccanica exited the automobile manufacturing industry in 1995.
