Can be product placement? |

I cannot find the credits for this specific episode (at the end they only say that some products in the scenes are used with advertising purposes).![]() In the other episodes they thank FCA Italy for the vehicles: ![]() this means that following vehicles are product placements: /vehicle_1015684-Fiat-500L-330-2015.html /vehicle_1015683-Jeep-Grand-Cherokee-WK2-2015.html /vehicle_1015698-Jeep-Renegade-BU-2015.html /vehicle_1015679-Lancia-Ypsilon-846-2015.html |

According to Wikipedia they were sold/distributed in Italy, yes. Up to 2015? When they seem to have disappeared. Used King Longs in Italy are not produced later than 2013. I think it was one of the last years they sold them? Because of the first thumbnail one would think this is product placement, but the bus, being a 2013 model is too old for that and because this series is aired in 2017 no one would be there to sponsor its product placement and this would be of no use. -- Last edit: 2017-04-17 17:09:48 |

One of the shareholders didn't paid his share of stocks for the recapitalization and evidently never paid for it. This shady Chinese company was in all likelihood only interested to steal the expertise from two former Breda Menarini and Irisbus assembly plants, but apparently they only found a local partner that was more dubious and dishonest than them. Not a great loss. The company closed down in 2015. |
