However, if the highway system fails to improve by 2020, the company will make crucial decisions, said Nicolas Maure, Automobile Dacia president and GM.

“We don’t want to be brutal and strongly reduce the number of employees, like Ford does. We want to keep jobs as long as it’s possible,” he said, cited by local Hotnews.ro.

Dacia will produce this year between 330,000 and 340,000 units at the Mioveni plant, similarly to last year. Maure said talks were ongoing about building other Renault models at Mioveni, besides the Entry range. The company will make a decision by 2020.

Dacia and Renault will decide if they allocate new types of body cars to the plant in Mioveni in 2018-2019. However, the decision depends on the construction of the Pitesti-Sibiu highway by 2020. (Source: Romania-insider.com)
