The turnover of the local trade with motor vehicles and motorcycles went up last year by 1.7% compared to 2013.

This was due to the increase in the motor vehicle trade (2.4%) and the car part and accessory trade (1.6%), according to data from Romania’s National Institute of Statistics (INS).

However, the car repair and maintenance activities decreased by 0.8%, while the trade with motorcycles and motorcycle parts and accessories went down by 0.7%.
