In all, its plant in Romania will assemble six models by the end of 2024 – Puma with internal combustion engine and electric Puma, the new Transit Courier and E-Courier, as well as Tourneo Courier – the passenger version of the Transit Courier and its electric version.
New models mean new suppliers, as well, as South Korea’s SK will deliver the batteries for E-Transit Courier from Hungary to Craiova.
Dacia’s Mioveni plant will assemble two full-hybrid models, Dacia Jogger, and the new Duster.
