Currently the company manufactures only the four-wheel drive TAC STARK. As of 2012, the vehicle is to be available for export and also be available in other countries. About 1200 units are produced per year.[citation needed]
In 2015, it was announced that Chinese automotive manufacturer Zotye Auto would buy TAC, however the deal did not go through.[2][3] After three years off the market, the manufacturer returned to producing the Stark in 2018.[4][5]
In 2021, a partnership was announced with a Brazilian holding company that intended to distribute Stark in Africa.[6]
