The Duster SUV, available under both Dacia and Renault brands, sells about 400,000 units a year on average, Renault Group data show, and in eight years in production (a full cycle) nearly 3 milion vehicles are assembled worth some EUR51 billion.
The project of the third generation of Dacia Duster SUV will be supervised by the Renault Technologie Roumanie in Bucharest and will be one of the most complex so far, since it will be made in six plants throughout the world and sold under three different badges.
“We are here with Gilles Le Borgne, EVP, Engineering, Renault Group, and we did not come empty handed, but with Duster 3. We have now transferred the project to Renault Technologie Roumanie,” said Denis le Vot, executive vice president, CEO of Dacia and Lada at a roundtable with Gilles Le Borgne, EVP, Engineering Renault Group, Laurens van den Acker, EVP, Corporate Design, Mihai Bordeanu, managing director of Automobile Dacia and Miles Nuernberger, the new design director of Dacia & Lada Business unit.
