Daewoo Automobile Romania has sold 5,100 vehicles in the first four months of the year, up more than 50% since the year-ago period. The increase makes up for the drop posted by the Craiova-based carmaker in the field of exports, as contracts with China, Egypt or Venezuela have come to an end. Daewoo Automobile Romania last year sold more than 20,000 cars, with 13,000 on the local market. In 2001, only 6,650 of the 18,000 autos sold by Daewoo were aimed at the Romanian market. Matiz remains the best-selling model, followed by Cielo. ZF
