Decline in Romania's automobile production by 2.7% year-on-year over the first eight months
Romania's automobile industry witnessed a shift in the first eight months of 2021, with Ford Otosan leading as the country's top car manufacturer. According to Romania Insider, Ford Otosan surpassed Renault's subsidiary, Dacia, in car production for both July and August. Dacia, known for models like the Dacia 1300, Logan, Sandero, and Duster, maintained its position as the leading car manufacturer until these months. However, a decrease in production at the Dacia factory contributed to a 2.7% year-over-year (y/y) decrease in Romania's overall car production. Despite this, the country produced a total of 346,800 units in the first eight months, with Ford Otosan taking the top spot, marking a significant change in the local automobile industry. However, the specific production rate for Ford Otosan in the first eight months is not explicitly stated. Similarly, the car production rate for any specific month beyond July and August is not provided. Furthermore, the car production figures for any other automobile manufacturer besides Ford Otosan and Renault's subsidiary are not available in this data. It's important to note that any predictions or projections about future car production trends are not included in this report. The automobile industry continues to evolve, and these changes in production numbers reflect the ongoing shifts in the market.
