Aymesa

Aymesa was founded in Quito in 1970. In cooperation with General Motors, the production of automobiles and commercial vehicles began in 1973. Until 1984, passenger cars were marketed under their own brand name Aymesa. Other sources cite the period 1972 to the 1980s or from 1980 to 1989 for this brand name. The brand name became Chevrolet in 1984. Deviating from this, a model was marketed in Venezuela as Sanremo in the 1970s.

Since 1999, there has also been an agreement with Kia Motors for vehicle production. In addition, Lada vehicles were assembled from 2000 to 2004.

The Andino was a pickup truck based on a Bedford model. The four-cylinder engine with OHV valve control had a displacement of 1300 cm3. One source gives the construction period from 1973 to 1977, another from 1972 to 1970s.
