Dinu Patriciu, the businessman who became a euro billionaire from oil operations, has sealed a contract for the delivery of a fleet of 20 Ford Fiesta and Mondeo models with Business Development Team (BDT), the biggest Ford dealer in Bucharest.
Most of the cars will go to the Mic.Ro store network, according
to some sources close to Mercadia company that develops the store
network.

sales agents and not for commodity transport. Subsequently, the
fleet rented by Mic.Ro will expand to around 100 cars, with the
value of the contract revolving around 1.5m euros, according to ZF
estimates.
According to the same sources, the cars are rented from BDT Rent a
Car firm, a service similar with operational leasing.
{tefan Simion, general manager of BDT Grup, confirmed the existence
of a contract between Ford dealer and Mic.Ro store network, without
providing details about the number of cars to be delivered.
This year, Ford Fiesta model fleets have also been acquired by
Romtelecom, which bought around 500 cars, and by Orange.
