Duster production surpasses Sandero's

For the first time in the history of Automobile Dacia, the model with the highest production is also the most expensive one in the offer of the Romanian brand. Production of the Duster SUV, which costs between 10,950 and over 18,000 euros, VAT included, exceeded Sandero production in September. This is the first time that the B-segment model loses the leading position both in terms of the number of cars assembled, and in terms of price. With the average price of a Duster being above 15,000 euros, double as much as that of a Logan or a Sandero, Automobile Dacia’s turnover will see an accelerated turnover growth, and will most likely reach around 2.5 billion euros this year, according to ZF calculations, compared with a little over 2 billion euros last year.

Former footballer Gică Popescu, 43, who has invested together with two partners 10 million euros in a bazaar-type shopping centre close to Rahova market, has persuaded Jolidon underwear maker, as well as Polisano, which operates Rețeta drugstore chain, to come to Doldora bazaar, where rent for a 6.3 square-metre stand is 190 euros. “Nearly 90% of the bazaar has been rented out. At the end of October tenants will come to set up their stands in the Doldora bazaar,” said Marius Valentin Roateș, one of the three shareholders of Doldora Capital, which develops the bazaar. Gică Popescu controls 25% in Doldora Capital, while Marius Valentin Roateș and George Șaguna each hold 37.5%. Doldora Bazaar, located on the plot that used to accommodate Fabryo Corporation paint plant, is being developed on an overall area of 12,000 square metres, based on the model of low-priced shopping centres IDM, Sir and Dragonul Roșu.
