Czech automaker Skoda, part of Volkswagen Group, might be the manufacturer interested in developing a production capacity near Cluj-Napoca, in western Romania, daily Ziarul Financiar reported quoting sources familiar with the developments in the market.
Volkswagen Group, investigating possible locations for a Skoda plant in 2018-2019, had Romania on its list - but at that time the initial decision was to invest in Turkey.
VW subsequently gave up on Turkey, and the 2020 pandemic put on ice any new investment.
A company in the automotive sector is interested in an investment in the Cluj area, on an area of 150 hectares in the future Tetarom V industrial park, according to the statements of Alin Tişe, the president of the Cluj County Council, quoted by the local press.
