Abstract This chapter offers an overview of Post-Socialist Slovakia’s three existing and one planned car factories. This begins by tracing the origins of today’s VW factory in Bratislava under Socialist Czechoslovakia through the German automaker’s takeover and subsequent numerous expansions of the complex. This is followed by sections on PSA Peugeot Citroen’s (PSA) Trnava complex, Kia’s Zilina plant, and Tata Motors’ under construction Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) facility in Nitra. Its conclusion brief summarizes the now independent nation’s rise to become the most prolific vehicle producer per capita in the world.
