by AutomotiveInterviews

In Romania, Dacia maintains its leading market position, dominating the sales ranking despite the difficult economic context. However, the components shortage that affected the global car industry did not bypass Dacia. Since the first quarter of this year, when it hit the industry, we have been coordinating our response at group level within crisis units with the procurement and logistics teams in order to adapt and meet customer demand. The crisis is still not over, it is still affecting us. In July, production at our Romanian vehicle plant was interrupted for three days.
