The total production of cars in Romania may reach 520,000 units annually in 2014, according to a PwC study. That would mean a 74.5% increase as compared to the car production of 2009, when the total number of units stood at 300,000.
The domestic production would increase due to Ford, a company which this year only produced 4,000 cars, but expects to deliver 225,000 units by 2013. The PwC study expects Romania to reach sixth place among countries in the region when it comes to car production, overcoming Hungary, Ukraine and Slovenia.
The PwC analysis notes that Romania would have the third fastest pace of growth of its car production capacity among CEE countries, after Ukraine and Russia.
