Fabryka Samochodów Małolitrażowych

The Fabryka Samochodów Małolitrażowych (short: FSM, dt " factory for cars with small displacement " ) was a Polish state automobile manufacturer with plants in Bielsko- Biała and Tychy.

From 1975 FSM also set forth the Fiat 126, which was marketed as " Polski Fiat 126p " or as a " FSM 126 " and had a 650 cc engine. In the 1970s, other versions (pick-up, Station Wagon) were developed, which were never built in series. From the Model 126, there is also a small series an amphibian version with six wheels for military purposes, the " LPT " ( lekki pojazd terenowy, easy terrain vehicle) is called.

1983 suggested FSM Fiat, similar to the later Renault Twingo to build a on the prototype Beskid 106 based new model that the model would have replaced 126, but Fiat made ​​sure that the Fiat Cinquecento and later the Fiat Seicento and the new Fiat Panda FSM were mounted, and struck his hand, to construct a modified Fiat Ritmo before, but this was not realized.
