Through the end of September 2005, the plant had a cumulative production volume of 849,000 vehicles: 465,000 Suzuki Swift (first generation) through March 2003, 187,000 Suzuki Wagon R+, 137,000 Suzuki Ignis and 60,000 Suzuki Swift (second generation). In addition to the Suzuki-badged vehicles, the Hungarian plant also produced 24,943 Fiat Sedici CUVs and 4,494 Ignis-based Subaru G3X Justys. Current production capacity is 300,000 units/year.[7] The plant also produces the new Suzuki Splash, as well as a rebadged version, the Opel Agila.[8]

Constructed with an investment of 14 billion Hungarian forints, the plant initially produced 1.0-litre and 1.3-litre Suzuki Swifts, reaching the ten thousandth car in 1993. On 6 October 2006, the plant produced its one millionth car, a five-door second generation Suzuki Swift.[9]

The plant meets ISO 14001 quality levels, engines manufactured at the plant meet Euro 4 requirements, and Suzuki requires ISO 9001:2000 quality assurance certification from suppliers and dealerships.[9] Magyar Suzuki's VIN identifier (the first three digits of the chassis number) is TSM.

gollark: You could sell "Dried Water - Just Add Water" which is actually just an empty bottle.
gollark: "Actively harm humanity" is waaay too vague. This is a bad idea.
