Renault invests €100 million in Dacia’s Romanian plant

On December 18, 2006 Dacia will start work at its Pitesti plant to boost output from 235,000 vehicles a year at end-2006 to 350,000 in 2008. This work, representing an investment of around €100 million, will enable the plant to increase its stamping output, introduce a new paint shop and enlarge the bodywork and assembly shops. The Pitesti plant currently manufactures Logan Sedan and Logan MCV. It will start producing the third model in the Logan program, a light commercial vehicle, in early-2007. The plant constructed the last example of its previous light commercial vehicle, a pick-up based on the Renault 12, on Friday December 8, 2006.
