Lázár may lure carmaker to Pécs



Construction and Transport Minister János Lázár announced that efforts are under way to attract a major industrial investor to Pécs, in partnership with the city and the University of Pécs.

At a press conference in Siklós on Tuesday, he said “We are negotiating with a large automotive company for the benefit of Pécs.

“These negotiations are obviously confidential, given the intense competition, he remarked, adding “We are preparing a 600-hectare industrial park, with the M6 and M60 motorways as essential conditions.”

Lázár did not reveal the company’s identity. Earlier reports suggested that a Chinese car manufacturer – possibly Great Wall Motors – could be behind the talks.
