Romanian Automobile Dacia To Build Euro 5 Engines For Dacia, Renault, Nissan, Renault Samsung

Dacia’s factory in Mioveni will open a new production line for the new family of Euro 5 engines, including H4 and H5, developed by Renault in collaboration with Nissan. These will be used in Renault, Nissan, Dacia and Renault Samsung models, Automobile Dacia vice-president Constantin Stroe told MEDIAFAX.

The factory will also adapt the K7 engine to conform to the Euro 5 standard, Dacia officials said.

Dacia currently produces three types of engine, which meet Euro 4: K7J, K7M and the diesel F8Q. Euro 5 engines are available on the 4×4 version of the Duster, one version of the Sandero and one of the Logan, but they are imported from other Renault factories.

Last year, the Dacia factory produced 273,559 engines: 1.4 L and 1.6 L (gasoline) and 1.9 L (diesel). Automobile Dacia sold 311,282 vehicles last year, 20% more than in 2008.
