 SEMAL also had acquired a stockparts warehouse at Terrugem near Sintra where GV-SEMAL stocked large amounts of original ARO parts for them to use as resource.Another small assembly shop owned by SEMAL was open at Trajouce, where the larger "TAGUS" utility offroad model range was going to be assembled and built there.In the late 1970s the partners decided that GV would assemble the TAGUS 4X4 model range and SEMAL would build the PORTARO 4WD model range to get production ready.
