After the record of almost 343,000 cars produced in 2013, Dacia estimates a production of 310,000 – 320,000 units this year, according to Nicolas Maure, general manager of Dacia, cited by local Agerpres.
He said the production in 2014 will be influenced by market developments, marked by a great competition, both in terms of competitors as well as the internal competition within the Renault group, with the plant in Morocco.
The Dacia plant in Mioveni, near Pitesti, Romania, produces Logan, Logan MCV, Sandero, Sandero Stepway, Duster and Renault Symbol models, while the plant in Morocco produces Sandero, Dokker, Dokker Van and Lodgy.
Might be to make space for the production of the RHD duster to move from India to Romania for our 2016 model! You heard it here first 😉

Lets hope so. Without the Indians making it, do you think the rust problems will be a thing of the past?
ABSOLUTELY – the duster’s issue is because the lack of skills and poor QC in india. There are no reported issues with LHD dusters built in Romania!
“ABSOLUTELY – the duster’s issue is because the lack of skills and poor QC in india. There are no reported issues with LHD dusters built in Romania!”
That fails to explain why we have rusty Sandero’s that have been built in Romania!
Not going to happen’ India is the only reason right hand models came into being away’ its a massive Dacia market with the European (us and the republic) tiny in comparason
it’s not a tiny market – dacia sales in the uk are huge, they made a mistake not producing the duster for us in romania to begin with. now they know the cars will sell and they’ve tested the market, that will give them confidence to make the move – only time will tell
Its not about confidence its pure economics. But your right’ only time will tell
Oh to have a time machine………… however, if it’s all about economics why didn’t they make the sanderos/stepways/logan mcvs in RHD in india?
Got me there
Nothing wrong with my 2013 Indian 4×4 Duster…. 🙂
Yours, and many others too Duster. 🙂

in Romania the factory is at 200%
to increase production it means building a new facility here
the cost its huge since they just build a new one in Morocco
but in Morocco they dont have yet at least a rhd line build just lhd
and in india they dont have a rhd line for the new model just the old logan which is also market it as mahindra
i hope now most of u will understand why!!!!!
its all about the money
