Daewoo achieves record sales

Daewoo Automobile Romania, maker of Daewoo cars on the local market, sold 4,177 vehicles in July. This is the month with the highest sales in the entire brand’s history, according to the company’s communication manager, Valeriu Garlea. The old monthly record was of 3,900 units. The Craiova-based company was allocated a 4,576-car quota as part of the scrapping bonus programme this year, with over 2,700 units being sold in July. The over 4,000 cars sold in July represent a two-fold increase in sales against this June. “In August, despite the significant number of cars to be sold through the scrapping programme, we are expecting a drop in sales, since a lot of people will be on holiday,” believes Garlea. Matiz is still the biggest selling model, with 2,238 units, although Cielo has seen a significant rise, to 1,725 units. The third model manufactured by Daewoo, Nubira II rounded off the sales with its 224 units.
