Apart from the Sandero, Logan and Duster models assembled at Dacia’s plant in Mioveni, southern Romania, sales on the ten largest markets also include the new Dacia Lodgy and Dokker made in Tangiers, Morocco.
The largest markets for Dacia continue to be France and Germany, where Dacia sees rises of 7% and 4% respectively, despite lower car sales overall. Dacia’s biggest rise in Europe was in Spain, by almost 50%, to 16,500 cars.
Although official data is not yet available on Dacia’s registrations in Romania, considering July results supported by the clunkers scheme, the Romanian market could climb to the 7th spot, exceeding the UK market.
Dacia will produce almost 340,000 cars in Romania this year, if the 20% growth rate keeps up until December. All models made in Romania started production this year. But Dacia will not launch any new model next year, according to the international press. The lack of new launches could affect next year’s production, after the brand completely renewed its range in 2012 and 2013.
