The start of production of the Duster SUV in the Dacia plant
in Mioveni as of the beginning of this year has led to production
remaining at around 1,340 cars a day, a level similar to that
recorded in the second part of last year when Dacia still benefited
from being sold under Germany’s car scrappage scheme.
“Dacia Duster has already started to be manufactured in
Mioveni because before the official launch in Geneva in March, the
cars need to reach dealers for the commercial launch. This also
happened with the Logan in 2004. It started to be manufactured in
June, and was commercially launched in September,” said Constantin
Stroe, vice-president of Automobile Dacia, who is also president of
the Romanian Car Manufacturers Association (ACAROM).
Dacia holds almost 90 showrooms on the Romanian market, with each to have at least 7-8 Dusters in stock at the time of the launch. Over 1,300 dealers in Europe are added to these, of which around almost 940 are in Western Europe.
