Ford Transit & Tourneo Courier, Ford Puma, and the new Dacia Duster led Romanian car production to a record volume of over 560,000 cars, according to calculations by Ziarul Financiar based on information from the car market and Ford Otosan's stock exchange report. 

The volume thus brings a 10% increase compared to 2023, being the best year ever recorded by the Romanian industry. 

The record volume comes at a time when European car production has been hit hard, marking a slight decline compared to 2023, and competition from China is putting increasing pressure on European production.
