Dacia, Valeo close million-euro deal

French group Valeo will supply a series of systems and components for the new Dacia Solenza model, under several contracts worth millions of euros. “We aim to support the expansion of Renault-Dacia in Romania, especially since the company has consolidated its development strategy for the ever-growing Eastern European market,” said Thierry Morin, Valeo chairman. Dacia officials also verified the information. According to the Romanian carmaker’s managers, almost 13,000 Solenza units had been sold by the end of last month, of which 10,500 on the domestic market. ZF
