Lifan Motors Uruguay is an automobile manufacturer from Uruguay . The company is a subsidiary of Lifan Industry from China.

history

In 2012, Lifan obtained the of Effa Motors in San José guided assembly plant. Effa Motors had been assembling Lifan vehicles there since 2010.

In April 2014 we started our own engine production.

At the end of 2015, production at the plant was discontinued due to the poor economic situation on the export market of Brazil. At that time, Lifan in Uruguay had 340 employees. Engine production had already been discontinued beforehand. The poor exchange rate to the Brazilian real , the absenteeism of employees and the behavior of the local trade union representatives were named as further problems (in some cases already before) .

The plant was reopened in May 2017. In autumn 2017, the workforce at the plant consisted of 137 employees who assembled 2,100 vehicles per year. The plant was temporarily closed again in mid-2018. The resumption of operations is still pending.

The vehicles are sold in Uruguay by Grupo Aler.

Models

The models assembled initially included the 320 and 620 models . From 2015 the X60 and Lifan Foison (a small commercial vehicle) were added.
