Tăriceanu closes Harley Davidson showroom in Constanța

Automotive Trading Services, a company controlled by former Prime Minister Călin Popescu-Tăriceanu, in early September shut down the Harley Davidson motorbike showroom of Constanța, according to the Official Gazette data, only several months after opening it.
Contacted by ZF, the company’s representatives confirmed the data, without providing any further details.
This is the second move the former premier has made this year, after on August 1 Automotive Trading Services turned the Citroen centre of Băneasa into a Ford dealer.
The 150 square metre Harley Davidson showroom of Constanța, located in the central area of the city, was launched this spring, selling motorbikes and protective gear, apparel and lifestyle. The Constanța centre was the second one, after the one in Bucharest.
Automotive Trading Services plans to sell 20% more motorcycles this year, namely around 40 units, considering the market is further declining amid the economic downturn, according to previous statements by Bogdan Bucurescu, general manager of Automotive Trading Services, who owns 20% in the company.
