Dacia hits 10 million units

The Dacia brand is celebrating the production of 10 million vehicles since it was established in 1968, writes Brian Byrne.

The milestone vehicle was a Duster Extreme produced at the company's facility in Mioveni, Romania. Some 2.1 million Dusters have been sold to European customers since the SUV model debuted in 2019. The Sandero and its Stepway derivative are the best sellers in the range, which also includes the Logan and its LCV wagon, and the Dacia 1300 and derivative cars.

The most recent addition to the Dacia lineup is the Jogger 7-seat MPV, which has just gone on sale in Ireland. Hybrid and electric models are scheduled.
