European automobile brand Dacia announced a temporary stop in car production at a plant in Romania. The reason was the fall in demand for cars in Europe. We are talking about an enterprise in the city of Mioveni, writes Prime.
Currently, the assembly speed has fallen by a third compared to the same period last year, the company reported. Prior to this, the company had already reduced daily production to one thousand cars, which is almost a third below peak productivity. The drop in volumes forced management to reconsider the shift schedule to bring the workload of staff into line with the new conditions.
The company stated that in 2026, approximately 1.2 thousand workers would be laid off at the Mioveni plant due to the relocation of production to Turkey and Slovenia. Retrenched employees have the opportunity to leave under a voluntary dismissal program with compensation depending on their length of service.
