It is not uncommon to see Dacia Logan and Dacia Duster cars with several hundred thousand kilometers on the odometer! This is not a result of a stroke of good fortune. The durability of Dacia cars is a closely guarded secret known only to those working in the two labs at the Titu Technical Centre. Dacia's testing facility, located 45 minutes northwest of Bucharest, Romania, puts all of its models' internal and exterior parts through rigorous testing to ensure that they are of high quality and robustness. Why? To assure clients that their vehicle would withstand the test of time. How? Aging at a faster rate. Let us look inside the laboratories and see what makes them so unique.
How can you ensure that a new automobile will remain in excellent condition for years, even after a few hundred thousand miles? Dacia's answer to that issue is found in Titu, Romania. Hundreds of tests are conducted annually to determine the robustness of plastic and metal components used in the Dacia Sandero, Dacia Duster, and Dacia Jogger models.
