Volkswagen Sarajevo doo is an automobile manufacturer with headquarters in Vogošća , a northern suburb of Sarajevo . The company, which is majority-owned by the Volkswagen Group, is a successor to the Tvornica Automobila Sarajevo automobile plant , which operated at the same location from 1972 to 1992 and in which Volkswagen held a 49% stake. The plant mainly produces containers for automobile production. Vehicle production, which existed between 1998 and 2008, was terminated due to the abolition of the previously existing customs duties between the EU and Bosnia and Herzegovina . An electric van has been manufactured in the factory since 2009. Volkswagen Sarajevo doo has been a chassis components factory since 2010.
