    Producție record de autovehicule

    Anul trecut, România a înregistrat o creştere record a producţiei de vehicule, depăşind cu peste 4% numărul total de maşini din 2019. Adrian Sandu, secretarul general al Asociaţiei Constructorilor de Automobile din România, este de părere că această creştere a fost posibilă datorită eforturilor celor două uzine, Dacia şi Ford. Producătorul român de automobile Dacia a fost înființat la jumătatea anilor ’60, în urma unui acord de cooperare cu constructorul francez Renault, care, în 1999, a preluat 51% din acțiuni. La rândul său, Ford România este un producător cu sediul la Craiova, subsidiar al companiei americane. Adrian Sandu consideră că acest record a venit și în urma soluțiilor găsite la criza componentelor electronice.

    Atât echipele de la Dacia, cât şi echipele de la Ford au făcut tot posibilul să asigure un flux optim de aprovizionare cu componente, astfel încât, pe fondul unei cereri consistente, avem această creştere a producţiei, înregistrând, astfel, în 2023, un nou record de producţie de vehicule în România, circa 513.000 unităţi. Noi sperăm ca acest an 2024 să reprezinte un nou an de creştere pentru producţia de vehicule în România, să atingem un nou record, dar depinde de factorul aprovizionare, depinde şi de menţinerea unei cereri constante sau chiar în creştere pentru produsele fabricate în România pe pieţele unde acestea se desfac, în Vestul Europei şi nu numaiˮ.

    Pe de altă parte, înmatriculările de autoturisme noi, în România, au crescut cu 11,6% în 2023 faţă de anul anterior, marjă în care autoturismele electrificateˮ au înregistrat un salt de peste 25%, până la o cotă de piaţă de circa 24%, arată datele Direcţiei Regim Permise de Conducere şi Înmatriculare a Autovehiculelor, prelucrate de Asociaţia Producătorilor şi Importatorilor de Automobile. Potrivit statisticii, pe piaţa naţională, în topul primelor zece mărci de autoturisme şi autovehicule comerciale, în 2023, pe primul loc se află Dacia, cu mai mult de 46 000 de unităţi, urmată de Renault, cu peste 15.000. În 2023, în clasamentul primelor cinci cele mai vândute autoturisme 100% electrice pe primul loc se află Dacia Spring – cu aproape 6900 de unităţi.

    De menționat faptul că, în Europa, anul trecut, vânzările de autoturisme Dacia au înregistrat un avans de circa 17%, iar cota de piaţă a producătorului de automobile a urcat la 4,3%, de la 4,2% în 2022, arată datele publicate joi de Asociaţia Constructorilor Europeni de Automobile. Aceste cifre sunt valabile pentru statele din Uniunea Europeană, Marea Britanie şi ţările din Asociaţia Europeană a Liberului Schimb (EFTA), respectiv Islanda, Liechtenstein, Norvegia şi Elveţia

    All Romanian football sides but one are currently
    on holiday. The country’s national eleven is presently training for the
    upcoming matches in the preliminaries of EURO 2024. The domestic season is over
    now with Farul Constanta as champions. We recall the club is owned by the man
    who has been considered the best Romanian footballer ever Gheorghe Hagi, who is
    also the team’s headcoach.


    It has been an extraordinary year for Farul,
    which topped the national championship from the beginning to end. Farul’s main
    challenger proved to be the Bucharest legend FCSB, formerly known as Steaua, but
    the last head-to-head game went to Farul 3-2, which eventually reaped the trophy.


    Farul will be next playing in the Champions
    League’s preliminaries, while the runner up FCSB, CFR Cluj, the side on the
    third place, and Sepsi Sfantu Gheorghe, winner of Romania’s Cup are going into
    qualifiers for the Conference League.


    Tie matches were played for the position
    currently occupied by CFR. FCU Craiova first took on FC Voluntari, which they
    defeat in the penalty shootout and were eventually up against CFR Cluj in a
    decisive game for Conference League. CFR eventually secured a 1-0 win the in
    the injury time.


    Politehnica Iaşi, Oţelul Galaţi and Dinamo
    Bucureşti have joined Romania’s first football league this season. Dinamo
    Bucharest played two tie matches against FC Arges. Dinamo won the first match
    6-1 and lost their second 2-4. The other game for a place in the first football
    division pitched UTA Arad against Gloria Buzau. UTA won on aggregate after a
    goaless draw in the first match and 5-1 win in the second. CS Mioveni, Chindia
    Târgovişte and FC Argeş have been demoted to the second football league.


    In their qualifying matches for EURO 2024, our
    footballers will first take on Kosovo in Pristina, on June 16, then fly to
    Lucerne in Switzerland for a game against the local representative three days
    later. After the victories in March against Andorra and Belarus our footballers
    are ranking second in Group One with the same number of points as Switzerland.
