The automotive industry in Croatia employs about 10 000 people in over 130 companies and generates profit of about 0,6 billion dollars. Croatia mostly produces automotive parts and software. Two most prominent car manufacturers in Croatia are DOK-ING and Rimac Automobili while Crobus produces buses.
History
Tvornica Autobusa Zagreb started prodicing buses and trucks in 1930. In 1980 the factory employed 1,200 people and produced an average of 500-600 vehicles (up 900), and buses exported to, among others, China, Finland, Great Britain, Egypt and others. The company also produced motorcycles until it went defunct in 2000.
Other companies, such as Đuro Đaković have been producing military vehicles, such as M-95 Degman tank. The company also manufactured Patria AMV vehicles under license.
Croatia produced its first electric city concept car DOK-ING Loox in 2012. The first car was sold to the Zagreb Faculty of Engineering.[1] In 2015, the company produced two electric buses for the city of Koprivnica as part of the project Civitas Dyn@mo.[2]
In 2013 a Croatian bus manufacturer CROBUS signed a 2.1 bln kn deal to produce and export 2000 buses to Iraq, with the first bus being delivered in the same year.[3]
In 2013 private owned Rimac Automobili produced the Rimac Concept One, a two-seat high-performance electric sports car. Concept One has been described as the world's first electric supercar becoming the world's fastest accelerating electric automobile until 2015. Their first car (Concept One) was exported during the same year, and was the first car exported abroad in the country's history.[4] As of 2016, all of the eight Concept Ones were sold.
Croatia currently plans to open its first mass production automobile factory in Međimurje County, a project of prefect Predrag Štromar and supported by the President.
