After Lodgy, Dacia will launch a new commercial vehicle, called van until the debut. The Dacia officials said that the new model will debut in Romania after the summer holidays, which means that we can expect a debut in the Paris Motor Show in September, followed by a launch on the market by the end of the year. Regarding the production of the new model, the use of Pitesti factory is unlikely until the exit of the Logan Van. Thomas Duburuel refused to comment on this transition, saying that the Logan VAN model is currently in production.

The characteristics of the new commercial model are also a mystery, the only statement that the Dacia officials give about the new vehicle being: "it will meet the demands of our fleet customers", customers that are very important to Dacia.

Most likely, the new commercial vehicle will receive the front from a new Dacia model, along with a number of common components. The most likely hypothesis suggests that the new Dacia commercial vehicle will take the front of the Lodgy and will have dimensions close to it, like the other models from the Dacia range, the Logan and the Logan MCV. The launch of Logan’s successor has not been confirmed by the officials of the Romanian brand, a sign that the Logan 2 debut could take place in 2013, at the Geneva Motor Show.

"These new models will inaugurate a new stage in terms of design, and their prices will be lowered than ever" said Alain Launay, the director of the Renault design center opened in Bucharest two years ago. The three models will be launched from 2012 in the European Union.

Regarding the situation between the image of the Dacia brand to the Renault brand, the technical center officials in Romania give us new details about development in the future. Thus, according to Gerard Detourbet statements, Dacia will remain a manufacturer that will provide basic models, while the models developed by Renault will be increasingly sophisticated.

Another issue touched by the French journalists is the reliability of Dacia models that are situated in the first positions in the charts in Europe. "Most cars today have defects in the home electronic systems complexity. The Dacia models use electronic systems that were developed based on five to ten years ago, so they are obviously much more reliable than the last generation of cars" said Benoit Abadie, the deputy director of the Technology Center that opened this year Renault in Romania.
"The costs of production for Dacia model assembled in Pitesti is below 2,000 euros the same model manufactured in France" – Le Figaro.

The Austrian of Fiskales promise to produce the conversion van kit for the Duster version with 1.5 dCi engine with 110 HP. The conversion price of this package has not yet been announced. This is the first van conversion that the Duster has received, other changes announced so far were for suspensions, engines and external appearance.

In Romania, the entry-level version of Dacia Duster has a starting price of 10.941 euros all taxes included. The cheapest four-wheel drive version of Dacia Duster starts at 12.817 euros with VAT included, while the top end starts at 16.255 euros in the Laureate version with an 1.5 dCi engine and 110 HP. Dacia has its own van version of Duster, but it is offered in some markets and it is not available for the four-wheel drive versions.

The most interesting feature of the new Logan MCV Van Young Activity III is the trunk located on the roof. Once opened, the trunk offers for the customers of the MCV’s Activity Van Young III, a tent for two people, a technique solution used on some versions of Volkswagen Transporter.

Unlike Duster, Dacia will create a production version of Logan MCV Van Young Activity III, with a starting price 15.900 euros.
