After the Fiat Grande Panda electric car, the Citroën e-C3 will also be manufactured at the Stellantis factory in Kragujevac.

In July last year, Stellantis launched a trial production of its electric Fiat Grande Panda in Kragujevac. Local media reported that the company would begin manufacturing Citroën C3 this year.

Saša Đorđević, president of the Kragujevac branch of the Confederation of Autonomous Trade Unions of Serbia (SSSS), said Citroën e-C3 would be produced in cooperation with the Stellantis factory in the Slovak city of Trnava. It is the primary site for the model.

The factory in Kragujevac makes many parts for the facility in Slovakia

In his words, the Kragujevac factory already produces many parts for the facility in Slovakia.

The Fiat Grande Panda and e-C3 share the same platform, Đorđević added. According to him, it is good news for the employees in Kragujevac as more capacity would be utilized.

And the good news for potential buyers of electric cars in Serbia is that the e-C3 will also be subsidized with EUR 5,000 apiece.

Electrification will now be much closer for everyone thinking about buying an electric car

Zoran Burić, marketing director at Avtonova KAB, the Serbian importer of the Citroën brand, said the electric version of the e-C3 model would be sold for EUR 26,490, or EUR 21.490 when the government’s subsidy is calculated in. Of note, the Fiat Grande Panda with a state subsidy should cost EUR 18,000 per unit.

Citroen e-C3 will be a domestic car in a way, Burić argued. He expressed the belief electrification will be much closer for everyone thinking about buying such a vehicle. The price of the C3 gasoline model is EUR 14,990.

The electric model with a 44 kWh battery offers a range of up to 326 kilometers.

Subsidies range from EUR 250 to EUR 5,000

In late January, the Government of Serbia adopted a decree on the subsidies for electric vehicles for 2025.

The applications are received until October 31 by the Ministry of Environmental Protection. The subsidies are part of a package of measures to improve air quality, the government said.

Serbia earmarked RSD 170 million for the measure this year. Depending on the type of vehicle, subsidies range from EUR 250 to EUR 5,000. In the previous five years, subsidies were paid for the purchase of more than 2,800 electric and hybrid vehicles.
