Dacia: Jung, Frisch Und Erfolgreich Medieninformation 17. AUGUST 2018 Dacia: jung, frisch und erfolgreich Über 5 Millionen verkaufte Fahrzeuge in 44 Ländern innerhalb von knapp 14 Jahren stehen für eine der erfolgreichsten Markenlancierungen in der Automobilindustrie. Dass sich die Erfolgsgeschichte fortsetzt zeigen allein schon die Verkaufszahlen des ersten Halbjahrs 2018, die in der Schweiz um 10 % und weltweit gar um 13,4 % zulegten. Das Erfolgsrezept hingegen heisst nicht einfach «viel Produkt zum besten Preis». Das bestätigt auch Iris Leoni. Die Schweizer Kundin und ihre Familie zählen nach dem Kauf eines Dacia 4x4 zu einer Gemeinschaft, die mittlerweile allein auf Facebook über 4 Millionen Fans vereint. Eigentlich müsste man am kommenden Montag „Happy Birthday Dacia“ sagen. Vor genau 50 Jahren, am 20. August 1968, startete im um- und ausgebauten Komponentenwerk «Uzina de Piese Auto Colibaşi» bei Pitesti in Rumänien die Produktion des ersten Dacia. Auf den Dacia 1100 folgte der Dacia 1300, ein Lizenzbau des Renault 12. Das ist Teil 1 der Geschichte. Teil 2 begann im Jahr 2004 und steht nicht nur für ein neues sondern auch für eines der erfolgreichsten Kapitel in der jüngeren Geschichte des Automobils. Nachdem die Marke 1999 Teil der Renault Gruppe wurde, folgte eine gründliche Modernisierung des Standorts Pitesti. 2005 lancierte Dacia mit der Stufenhecklimousine Logan das «5’000-Euro-Auto» für Schwellenländer. Moderne Technik, ein konkurrenzloser Preis, günstig im Unterhalt und hohe Zuverlässigkeit überzeugten aber umgehend auch in Märkten, die ansonsten eher als hochpreisig gelten. So entwickelte sich Dacia auch in der Schweiz zur Erfolgsgeschichte. Auf den Dacia Logan folgte 2007 die Kombiversion Logan MCV. Mit dem Sandero weitete Dacia 2008 das Angebot in das Segment der Kleinwagen aus. Ein Coup sondergleichen gelang 2010 mit der Vorstellung des SUV Dacia Duster. Beide Modelle entwickelten sich in kürzester Zeit zu globalen Bestsellern. Der kompakte SUV verkaufte sich bis heute weltweit mehr als 1,7 Millionen mal (Stand Ende 2017). Mit dem Lodgy stieg Dacia 2012 auch in das Segment der Kompaktvans ein. Nur wenig später präsentierte die Marke als fünfte Modellreihe den Hochdachkombi Dokker, die Nutzfahrzeugvariante Dokker Van. Ab September 2012 führte Dacia die neuen Generationen von Logan, Logan MCV und Sandero ein, gefolgt von der zweiten Generation des Dacia Duster (Anfang 2018) und dem seit Kurzem erhältlichen Dokker Van Pick-up. Mehr als 56’000 Dacia in der Schweiz bereits verkauft Mit der Modellpalette entwickelten sich auch die Verkaufszahlen. 2009, nur fünf Jahre nach dem Neustart der Marke, feierte Dacia den Verkauf des einmillionsten Fahrzeugs. Im März 2018 wechselte der fünfmillionste Dacia in Kundenhand. In der Schweiz registrierte Dacia im Juli 2018 bereits über 56’000 verkaufte Fahrzeuge in einem Zeitraum von rund 13 Jahren. Olivier Wittmann, Managing Director von Renault Suisse SA: «Der Blick auf die Dacia Kundschaft zeigt, dass moderne, umweltfreundliche Technik, eine attraktive Ausstattung, Zuverlässigkeit, viele praktische Details und ein ansprechendes Design eine breite Bevölkerungsschicht ansprechen. So richtet sich der Kaufentscheid meist nicht nur am konkurrenzlosen Preis aus. Die Kunden wählen vor allem ein starkes Produkt mit ebenso starken Dienstleistungen. Zudem spricht Dacia auf die bekannt direkte, unkomplizierte Art die sogenannten ‹Smart Buyers› an, die – einfach gesagt – schlau einkaufen. Die grosse Gemeinschaft mit über 4 Millionen Fans auf Facebook, davon bereits über 12’000 in der Schweiz, unterstreicht diese breite Akzeptanz der Marke. Wir erfahren unsere Kunden als Familien, Singles, Junge, Senioren, Gmeinden, Firmen und Geschäftsleute, die mit der Marke ein selbstbewusstes Statement abgeben und sich mit dem frischen, ehrlichen und unkomplizierten Image der Marke identifizieren.» 1 Einfach, unkompliziert und sicher Ein Beispiel? Bonstetten (ZH), im Juni 2018: Iris Leoni mit Ehemann und drei Kindern (7, 11 und 17) machen die Probefahrt beim Dacia Händler. Sie und ihre Familie suchen ein Zweitfahrzeug für Einkauf und Ferien, Freizeit und die Fahrt in die Berge. Wenige Wochen später sind sie im eigenen Neuen Duster 4x4 unterwegs. Iris Leoni: «Eigentlich dachten wir an den Sandero. Dann aber sind wir den Duster 4x4 gefahren und die Sache war klar, für mich und – vor allem – auch für die Kinder. Sie sassen bei der Probefahrt im Auto. Der grössere Platz auf den Rücksitzen war für sie entscheidend. Mir wiederum passte die etwas höhere Sitzposition. Wir fuhren kürzlich zu Fünft ins Wallis und hatten wirklich Spass. Auch von der Technik war ich überrascht. Im Wallis haben wir diese automatische Funktion beim Bergabfahren ausprobiert. Das war ein tolles Gefühl!» Auf den Preis angesprochen, meint Iris Leoni: «Bisher fuhr ich immer ein Occasionsfahrzeug. Mit dem Duster kaufte ich zum ersten Mal ein komplett neues Auto. Das ist auch auf den Preis zurückzuführen. Ich bekomme da wirklich sehr viel Auto zu Konditionen, die mir Spielraum für andere Dinge lassen. Dass es dann doch etwas mehr kostete, weil ich mich für den 4x4 und die Garantieverlängerung entschieden habe, fällt gar nicht so stark ins Gewicht. Überzeugt hat mich das Auto selbst – es gefällt mir, ich spüre die Qualität und es fühlt sich sicher an.» Weitere Informationen über Dacia und den Dacia Duster sind auf www.dacia.ch verfügbar. * * * Bildlegende Bild 1: Familie Leoni aus Bonstetten (ZH) im Neuen Duster 4x4 Bild 2: Jung, frisch und erfolgreich: Die Modellpalette von Dacia Bild 3: Neuer Dacia Duster Kontakte: Karin Kirchner Direktorin Kommunikation [email protected] – 044 777 02 48 Maryse Lüchtenborg Kommunikationsattachée [email protected] – 044 777 02 26 Webseite: www.media.dacia.ch www.dacia.ch 2 .

  • Business and the Visit of the Secretary of State for Foreign Trade from France, Charles De Chambrun (1966)
    THE “RENAULT” BUSINESS AND THE VISIT OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN TRADE FROM FRANCE, CHARLES DE CHAMBRUN (1966) Antoaneta Laura SAVA Abstract: Because the representatives of the “Renault” and “Volkswagen” companies did not show any interest, in the period 1973–1976, for a collaboration in the direction expected by the authorities from Bucharest, Nicolae Ceauşescu agreed on the prime minister Manea Mănescu signing a contract and several industrial and financial collaboration agreements, with the purpose of producing, at Craiova, under French licence, the models “Citroën Visa Spécial” and “Citroën Visa Club” (called in Romania, “Oltcit Special” and “Oltcit Club”). Meanwhile, the collaboration of Romania with “Renault” National Administration continued according to the intentions expressed by the prime minister Raymond Barre and Manea Mănescu in Paris (the 17th of December 1976), and the Romanian-French agreement concluded in the summer of 1978 (Bucharest, the 12th of June 1978), having the purpose to certify the continuation of “Dacia 1300” production, along with certain subsets, electric engines, dashboard instruments and components for the machines used in the car industry from Romania. Keywords: fields, authority, car manufacturing industry, Renault company, development. In the last decade, were written, both in Romania and abroad, several studies and analyses that refer to the success registered by “Renault” French company, on addressing “Dacia Logan”, “Dacia MCV”, “Dacia Sandero” and “Dacia Duster” car makes. First produced at the Colibaşi plant, they had, since the beginning, a low selling price, as compared to other makes of renowned companies. Due to a special interest manifested for understanding the manner in which “Dacia” products reached the commercial success during the period 2004–2014, we are to present, further on, the beginning of the cooperation between the authorities from Romania and the “Renault” company.

  • Dacia Pay Agreement Signed
    PRESS RELEASE April 11, 2008 DACIA PAY AGREEMENT SIGNED • Dacia management and Dacia’s trade union, Syndicat Autoturisme Dacia (SAD), signed an agreement on an annual pay increase on April 11, 2008. Work resumed at the plant on the same day at noon (GMT +1). • Under the agreement, qualified production workers will receive a gross monthly salary increase of 300 lei (83 euros) from January 1, 2008, followed by a gross monthly increase of 60 lei (16 euros) from September 1, 2008. Technicians, supervisory staff and managers get a 15% raise. All employees will receive a profit- sharing bonus based on 2007 results. The bonus will be equal to one month’s gross salary, with a gross minimum of 900 lei (249 euros). • The agreement concludes the negotiations started on January 28, according to a protocol established under Romanian law. Dacia management and the trade union have thus reached a reasonable compromise. The pay increases are significantly higher than the national average and the average in the Romanian manufacturing sector. In 2008, the average gross yearly salary of Dacia production workers will be 43% higher than the Romanian average (forecast). The salaries will also keep the Pitesti plant competitive on producing Dacia vehicles and parts for the worldwide Logan program. Today’s agreement between Dacia and SAD concludes a negotiation period that started on January 28, 2008, during which the management and the trade union met three times a week.

  • Dacia, Always in the Hearts of Romanians
    Dacia, Always in the Hearts of Romanians The Dacia brand and the Mioveni plant celebrate in 2018 half a century of existence. Automobile Dacia is today the most important company in Romania. Employees’ talent and professionalism turned Dacia into a symbol of quality and performance. Dacia conquered customers from 44 countries through attractive, quality models, at the best price. "I am very honored to mention a unique moment. In 2018 we shall celebrate 50 years of Dacia heritage: of a plant, of a brand, and of a Romanian symbol. We shall live again important moments of this half a century, we shall give the floor to the employees who have lived and permanently live the continuous transformation of Dacia. We shall organize during the year, across the country, communication events. Dacia is a dynamic brand with an essential role in the success of the strategic plan of Groupe Renault, “Drive the Future”. Dacia is a success symbol on a very competitive market, which is the automotive industry and it imposed itself as a key player on all demanding European markets, by designing and manufacturing attractive, quality cars, at the best price. Romania has the legitimacy to continue this success and Dacia will always be in the hearts of Romanians." - Antoine Doucerain, Managing Director Automobile Dacia and Groupe Renault Romania. 50 years ago… In the proximity of the Colibași village (currently a neighborhood of Mioveni) the last works for establishing the Pitești Vehicle Plant (RO – “Uzina de Autoturisme Pitești” – UAP) were taking place. The industrial site, built as a result of the cooperation with Renault, was soon to start the manufacturing of its first cars, marking thus the birth of one of the most beloved Romanian brands – Dacia.

  • Car Assembly Plant
    Car Assembly Plant Dacia Vehicle Plant produces vehicles in the following ranges: Logan, Logan MCV, Sandero (including the Stepway version) and Duster (4x2, 4x4), while also manufacturing spare parts for current and discontinued models. The Vehicle Plant operates currently at a rate of 1,300 vehicles per day, which means 60 vehicles per hour (one car comes out of the assembly line every minute). In 2016 the plant produced 320,239 cars and 42,371 painted car bodies, which were dispatched to Renault plant in Algeria. During its 49-year lifetime the plant produced 8 different models: Dacia 1100, Dacia 1300, Dacia Nova, Dacia SuperNova, Dacia Solenza, Dacia Logan (with the sedan, station wagon, waggon and pick-up versions), Dacia Sandero and Dacia Duster, totalling almost 6 million vehicles. The plant is organised in four production departments: Pressing, Bodies, Painting and Assembly. Pressing is the beginning of a vehicle's production process and consists of transforming the raw material, delivered as steel sheet, into car body parts. The parts thus obtained are delivered to the Bodies department, where they are assembled by spot welding to create the car body, together with mobile elements. Painting, the third stage of the manufacturing process, aims to protect the car body against corrosion and to achieve the finishing according to quality requirements. 8 kg of paint (water-based paint) are necessary for painting a car body. In the last stage of the manufacturing process, in the Assembly department, the mechanical elements are assembled and installed (the engine set, the rear bridge), as well as the driving unit, mirrors, inner and outer elements of the vehicle (carpets, seats, lights etc.).
