SsangYong Motor Co. will be running two shifts per week on its Pyeongtaek, assembly line due to the rising popularity of the Torres SUV, which has led to a production increase.
Since July of last year, the company has operated a single shift each week at its manufacturing line to reduce costs.
To take turns working shifts at the assembly line, all technicians, engineers, and office employees have been divided into two teams. Idle teams had to take unpaid time off.
The new Torres SUV, which has more than 30,000 pre-orders, has been well received by consumers.
Assembly line 1, which makes the Torres, Tivoli, and Korando, will experience an increase in production of 28 jobs per hour with the resumption of the two-shift system, while assembly line 3, which makes the New Rexton Sports and Khan, will see an increase in production of 14 jobs per hour.
The number of automobiles that can be produced annually will go from 90,000 to 170,000. The capacity of assembly line 1, which makes the Torres, will increase by more than 50,000 vehicles annually.
