“We now know that in 2035 Dacia models will be electric. The first news will be with the next generation Sandero, which will be electric in 2028,” Denis Le Vot said during a roundtable in Bucharest.
The next will be with the Duster in 2033 – the fourth generation, followed by the Jogger Hybrid in which the company invested virtually nothing or very little, considering it is a technology that it takes from parent group Renault, he added.
He pointed out that Spring now represented 12% of Dacia’s sales, and LPG sales were at over 30%, so about half of what Dacia comes in is zero or low carbon.
Denis Le Vot explained that the next electric Dacia model will be the next generation Sandero, expected in 2028 and most likely also produced in Morocco.
“In Morocco we usually assemble the ‘low’ cars now and in Mioveni the tall ones like SUVs and crossovers – Duster, Jogger and Sandero Stepway. The next Duster will be an internal combustion engine (expected in 2025 – i.e.) and the next generation, most likely in 2033, will be electric,” explained Denis Le Vot.
