DACIA, A BRAND THAT CONTINUES TO GROW

Dacia started assembling its very first vehicle, the Dacia 1100, in August 1968.

The following year, the iconic Dacia 1300 model gave birth to a whole family of derivatives (sedan, station wagon, sports coupe, LCV). It remained in production for 35 years and has left its mark on the Romanian automotive landscape.

The takeover of the brand by Renault Group in 1999 opened a new chapter in the history of Dacia.

With the launch of Logan in 2004, Dacia became an international carmaker and the pace of sales accelerated. In 2005, Dacia opens a production line outside Romania, at the Somaca plant in Casablanca (Morocco).

The expansion of the model range (Sandero, Duster, etc.) and their immediate successes make it necessary to expand production capacity:

  • inauguration of a brand-new plant in the port city of Tangier (Morocco) in 2012,
  • opening in 2016 of a production line in Oran, exclusively for the Algerian market,
  • production of Spring, Dacia's first 100% electric vehicle, will start in 2020 at the Shyian plant in China.

Dacia vehicles are currently sold in 44 countries, mainly in Europe and the Mediterranean basin.
