“Next year, Dacia will start manufacturing two new cars, one in Mioveni and one in Tangiers, Morocco. It will first launch production in Romania and then on the African continent. The car to be manufactured in Mioveni is almost ready,” people close to the matter said.
Thus, in the second half of the year, Renault will first start manufacturing the new Logan and then the Popster family car in Morocco.
French website Caradisiac has already announced the new Logan would be launched next year at the Paris car show and spy-pictures of the Dacia Popster have already appeared on the Internet.
According to the source, the percentage of parts imported from Romania will be higher than the one of parts produced in Morocco, which will implicitly boost the turnover of domestic market suppliers.
With the launch of the two new models, Automobile Dacia will start producing a new range of 0.9 and 1.2-liter turbocharged engines, to replace the current 1.2 and 1.6-liter ones. For their implementation, Dacia will invest over EUR13 million in Mioveni.
