- The Renault plant in Tangier (Morocco), which began operations in February 2012, reached in the first quarter of 2014  50% of the production volume of the Pitesti plant (Romania). The Tangier plant produced 45 000 vehicles in 2012, 100 000 in 2013 and 44 000 in the first quarter of 2014. The Pitesti plant produced 89 000 vehicles in the first quarter of 2014.

- According to Inovev, the Renault plant in Tangier is expected to double its production volume in 2014 compared to 2013, to 190 000 vehicles. Its capacity should be increased by 50% in 2014, from 170 000 vehicles a year to 250 000. By 2018, the Moroccan site should produce up to 250 000 units while the Pitesti plant will produce 355 000 units.

- The most striking result of this evolution is the gradual transfer of the Dacia Sandero from the Pitesti plant to the plant in Tangier and this since September 2013. The Sandero is currently exported throughout Europe.

- The Romanian Dacia plant having reached saturation with the production of the Logan and the Duster (265 000 planned in 2014, against 223 000 in 2013, excluding CKD), the transfer of the Sandero to Morocco is an attractive option given the currently underutilized capacity of the Tangier plant.

- On the graph below, we can clearly see how in several months the pace of the transfer of the Sandero from Pitesti to Tangier, leaving extra capacity so that the Pitesti plant can focus on the Logan and Duster.
