Fabryka Samochodów Małolitrażowych

FSM emblem

The Fabryka Samochodów Małolitrażowych (short: FSM , dt. "Factory for vehicles with small displacement") was a Polish state automobile manufacturer with plants in Bielsko-Biała and Tychy .

From 1972 the small car of the Syrena brand , which was previously produced by FSO , was built there. From 1975 onwards, FSM also produced the Fiat 126 , which was marketed as " Polski Fiat 126p" or "FSM 126" and had a 650 cc engine. In the 1970s, other versions (pick-up, station wagon) were developed that were never built in series. There is also a small series of an amphibious version of the 126 model with six wheels for military purposes, called "LPT" (lekki pojazd terenowy, light off-road vehicle).

1983 beat FSM Fiat before, one on the prototype Beskid 106 -based new model similar to the later Renault Twingo to build, which would have replaced 126 the model, but Fiat made sure that the Fiat Cinquecento and later the Fiat Seicento and the new Fiat Panda in FSM, and in turn suggested the construction of a modified Fiat Ritmo , which was not realized.

In 1992 the company was taken over by Fiat , later called Fiat Auto Poland and since April 1, 2015 FCA Poland SA

Meanwhile factory FSM in is in the former Tychy , which is the largest plant of Fiat in Europe, next to the current Fiat 500 , the new Ford Ka built the platform shared with the Fiat 500th
