Speaking at the event “The Automotive Industry: the engine of the Romanian economy,” Maure said Dacia made 339,000 cars in 2014 and the plant in Mioveni operates at almost full capacity. He also said that the increase in last year’s turnover is due both to an increase in sales of car parts and the sale of more expensive vehicles, such as the Duster, despite a slight decrease in production.
Maure went on saying that Dacia exports 92% of its production in Mioveni and 1.6 millon of cubic meters of car parts. He also said that Dacia accounts for 2.8% of Romania’s GDP and 7.3% of exports. In 2014, Dacia sold more than 29,600 cars in Romania, reaching a market share of over 31%.
In 2013, Automobile Dacia became Romania’s largest company by turnover -RON18.4 billion.
