Opel is moving production of its light commercial vehicle model Combo to Türkiye from the third quarter of this year, the German automaker said Monday.

The announcement comes just two weeks after another Stellantis-owned carmaker, Peugeot, said it would begin producing its Rifter light commercial vehicle in Türkiye.

The Combo will be manufactured at a Turkish carmaker Tofaş's plant in the northwestern Bursa province. Peugeot's Rifter will also be produced at the same factory.

The Bursa plant will add the Combo to Opel's locally produced commercial vehicle lineup, following the start of production of the Zafira, Vivaro and Vivaro Van models at the facility.

Opel Türkiye Brand Director Yiğit Yantaç said restarting production in Türkiye carried both strategic and emotional significance for the brand.

"Bringing the Combo to life in Bursa with Turkish engineering and Tofaş's manufacturing strength brings together two different engineering cultures," Yantaç said.

Local production is expected to improve efficiency across Opel's supply, logistics and operational processes.

The Combo accounts for a significant share of Opel's light commercial vehicle sales in Türkiye.

Opel sold 27,471 light commercial vehicles in the country in 2025, making it the third-best-selling brand in the segment. Combo sales accounted for 15,722 of those vehicles.

The latest Combo features Opel's signature Vizor front design, a digital cockpit and advanced driver-assistance systems. It is also equipped with Intelli-Lux LED Matrix headlights.

The model is offered in Essential, Edition and Ultimate trim levels and is powered by a 1.5-liter diesel engine producing 130 horsepower, paired with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission.

Combo maintained its sales momentum in the first seven months of 2026, with 7,779 units sold and an approximately 15% share of the C-Combivan segment.
