Being fluent in Italiano.....


Will be built at Bari taxis in London, the iconic vehicles unmistakable silhouette and accounting for locals and tourists alike the picture of the British capital. From what I was destined for closure, the site of Om Carts Bari, automotive industry: a conversion is not easy, but that opens a prospect of employment to 230 employees soon back in business thanks to the initiative of the Frazer Nash, a company English producer of the taxi.

The beginning of the adventure. The story begins two years ago when the German group Kion, owner of Om trucks had decided to dispose of the plant with the transfer of Puglia in Hamburg thereby sending in mobility for all workers. Then two years of negotiations - during which an initial proposal with wrecked Italian partners - which led to the conversion of the site of Bari, a commitment that has seen first row the governor of Puglia Nicky Vendola and the representative of the Frazer Nash Massimo Fedeli, trade unions, representatives of local authorities. Now the Frazer Nash is ready to start production of hybrid-powered taxi - another new novel - to a first order of 3,600 cars to be allocated to the city of London that by 2015 could reach 10 thousand.

Employment. Will immediately factory forty workers and twenty for a first administrative activities, then gradually all the other over three years with the probability that in 2016 it will touch the figure of 294 employees. The planned investment will be between 60 and 80 million, accompanied by regional modular facilities (15% for construction works, 30% for machinery and equipment) and with regard to the settlement industry and for research. Now the word goes to workers in a referendum, expected outcome, should give the last word. If the judgment is in favor of the Frazer Nash alone in this business, be the controlled Italian company with its investment plan. "It will be Apulia to build an icon of the English way of life, the London taxi," he says with enthusiasm Vendola, announcing new details on the agreement next week.
