  • 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: 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
