Dacia and Renault PRESS RELEASE July 1, 2009 DACIA AND RENAULT: 10 YEARS OF SHARED SUCCESS Since Dacia was acquired by Renault on July 2, 1999, it has become a major player in the automotive industry and a key component of the Renault group’s strategy. • Dacia is ahead of its time. Its original models have changed car buying habits. Customers are attracted by the keen pricing and reassured by the link between Dacia and Renault. Dacia is considered to deliver the best value for money on the market in terms of space, strength and reliability. • Dacia has a young range - Logan, Logan MCV, Logan van, Logan pick-up, Sandero: five models launched in five years. • Dacia is a constantly growing brand. Almost one million Dacia vehicles have been sold since the launch of Logan in 2004, an increase of 11.7% in 2008, and 15.5% for the first five months of 2009. • Dacia, from national brand to global brand: Dacia vehicles are sold in more than 50 countries in 2009. 1999: Dacia joins the Renault group Renault acquired 51% of Dacia and gradually increased its stake. Since 2003, Renault has held 99.43% of the capital. 1999-2004: large-scale modernization - The Renault group invested €489 million over five years to modernize the Pitesti plant in Romania. The plan involved upgrading industrial facilities, improving quality, training personnel, changing working conditions, renovating buildings, renewing IT systems and putting in place assembly lines for Renault engines and transmissions. 1 - Two models launched in 2000 and 2003, SuperNova and Solenza played the role of “learner vehicles” to test the new industrial processes implemented by Dacia and its suppliers. These vehicles paved the way for Logan. 2004-2005: the launch of Dacia Logan, the embodiment of a high-quality attractively priced family vehicle. This reliable and affordable family vehicle was intended as an entry-level model for families in fast-growing countries (Romania, North-West Africa, etc.). In response to acclaim from the press and customer demand, Dacia Logan was launched in Europe in Spring 2005. It was an immediate success. Dacia Logan won new market share in all countries: in Eastern Europe, in North-West Africa and also in Western Europe. Logan is also sold under the Renault brand outside Europe and North-West Africa. It can now be seen on the road in more than 80 countries. At end-June 2009, more than one million Logan vehicles had been sold worldwide under the two brand names (Renault and Dacia). A few key dates June 2, 2004: world premiere of Logan at the Technocentre (France). September 9, 2004 : market launch of Logan in Eastern Europe June 2005: launch of Logan in Western Europe September 8, 2005 launch of Logan 1.5 dCi 2006-2008: three new models in the range Dacia expanded its range with Logan MCV, the estate version of Logan and two light commercial vehicles, Logan van and Logan pick-up. Logan MCV quickly established itself on all markets. Designed to carry up to seven adults in comfort, it has become the benchmark for affordable estates, with no other comparable vehicles on the market. To date, more than 220,000 Logan MCV vehicles have been sold, mainly in Europe. A few key dates March 2006: presentation at the Geneva Motor Show of Logan Steppe, Dacia’s first showcar October 2006: launch of Dacia Logan MCV February 2007: launch of Dacia Logan van February 2008: launch of Dacia Logan pick-up 2008: Dacia eco², economic vehicles that seek to respect the environment With the launch of the Dacia eco 2 eco-label at the Paris Motor Show in October 2008, Dacia showed that it is possible to make affordable cars that respect the environment. All the models in the range are available with Dacia eco 2 versions, with petrol, diesel, LPG and E85 engines emitting less than 140 g/km of CO 2. 2 2008- 2009: a brand of growing appeal With Sandero, its compact, roomy hatchback, Dacia has taken another step forwards. Sandero is not only affordable, it is also attractive and contemporary. This trend has been confirmed by Duster, Dacia’s first concept car, and Sandero Stepway, the off-roader version of Sandero. A few key dates June 2008: market launch of Dacia Sandero July 2008: launch of Dacia New Logan October 2008: launch of Dacia New Logan MCV March 2009: presentation in Geneva of Duster, Dacia’s first concept car July 2009: launch of Dacia Sandero Stepway Dacia today Dacia is continuing to reflect the changing lifestyles of consumers looking for the essential car.

  • Dacia, Still Dacia
    PRESS RELEASE 01/14/2021 MORE DACIA, STILL DACIA • Building on a strong and efficient all-weather business model, the Dacia saga continues with a new chapter • The creation of the new Dacia-Lada business unit will boost Dacia’s competitiveness through leveraged engineering & manufacturing synergies with Lada • The New Dacia Bigster Concept embodies the Dacia brand evolution, breaking the C-segment glass-ceiling • Dacia stays Dacia, as affordable as ever, with a touch of coolness Boulogne-Billancourt – 14th January 2021. As part of Groupe Renault’s Renaulution strategy, Dacia unveiled its 5-year plan. With the creation of the Dacia-Lada business unit, Dacia will boost its efficiency and competitiveness, while going beyond its perimeter in terms of products. The presentation of the Bigster Concept paves the way for new horizons for Dacia in the C-Segment. “Dacia will stay Dacia, always offering a trustworthy, authentic, best value-for money proposition to smart buyers. With the creation of the Dacia-Lada business unit, we’ll leverage to the full the CMF-B modular platform, boost our efficiency and further increase our products competitiveness, quality and attractiveness.

  • The Dacia Story Continues
    PRESS RELEASE October 2, 2008 THE DACIA STORY CONTINUES • Dacia launches Dacia eco², proof that marketing affordable cars that are respectful of the environment is achievable. • 53% of Dacia vehicles sold in Western and Central Europe during the first half of 2008 would today qualify for the Dacia eco² signature. • The Dacia range has seen the addition of two new models in 2008: Dacia Logan Pick-up, which was introduced in March, and Dacia Sandero, which went on sale in June. Two other models have been, or will shortly be renewed: Logan (in July) and Logan MCV (November). • The Brand continues to win over new customers across the globe: Dacia's worldwide sales over the first six months of 2008 were up 13.6%. • The Brand's growth in Western Europe has resulted in changes to the network, with a gradual shift towards separate Dacia showrooms. DACIA eco²: ECONOMICAL AND ECOLOGICAL Logan eco² Concept – which is on show on Dacia's stand at the Paris Motor Show – profited from the Michelin- organized 2007 Challenge Bibendum in Shanghai, China, to demonstrate that it is possible to combine economical and ecological considerations without detracting from performance and equipment. The event saw Logan eco² Concept return combined cycle CO2 emissions of just 71g/km following optimization work to its technical specification and the introduction of inexpensive technical solutions. Today, a year and a half after the launch of the Renault eco² badge, Dacia has launched the Dacia eco² signature. The Brand's strong growth means that it is making a direct contribution to the commitment set out in the Renault Commitment 2009 plan to figure among the top-three carmakers with regard to CO2 emissions.

  • Vehicle Registration Tax As a Policy Instrument to Help Reduce CO2
    www.theicct.org BRIEFING APRIL 2019 Vehicle registration tax as a policy instrument to help reduce CO2 emissions and fuel consumption in Turkey Vehicle taxes in Turkey are among the highest in all of Europe. In particular, the Turkish registration tax on new passenger cars (Özel Tüketim Vergisi, or ÖTV) has a strong impact on consumer purchase behavior and vehicle market structure.1 However, the ÖTV currently does not directly take into account the emissions level of a vehicle, and thereby provides only a limited incentive for consumers to opt for passenger cars with low- or zero-emissions. This is different from most of the European Union (EU) member states, where vehicle manufacturers are obliged to reduce the average carbon dioxide (CO2) level of their new cars and consumer purchase decisions are driven by taxation systems based partly or entirely on the CO2 emission level of the vehicles available on the market.2 1 Murat Şenzeybek and Peter Mock, Passenger car emissions in Turkey: A baseline analysis of current vehicle taxation policies in Turkey and their impact on new and used passenger cars, (ICCT: Washington, DC, 2019), https://www.theicct.org/publications/passenger-car-emissions-turkey 2 Peter Mock, CO2 emission standards for passenger cars and light-commercial vehicles in the European Union, (ICCT: Washington, DC 2019), https://www.theicct.org/publications/ldv-co2-stds-eu-2030-update-jan2019; Sandra Wappelhorst, Peter Mock, and Zifei Yang, Using vehicle taxation policy to lower transport emissions - an overview for passenger cars in Europe, (ICCT: Washington, DC 2019),https://www.theicct.org/publications/ using-vehicle-taxation-policy-lower-transport-emissions Prepared by: Murat Şenzeybek, Peter Mock Acknowledgments: This paper is part of a two-year research project, kindly funded by Istanbul Policy Center - Sabancı University - Stiftung Mercator Initiative.
