In a strategic move to secure its place in the increasingly competitive electric vehicle (EV) market, Renault has announced that its Slovene subsidiary, Revoz, will assemble a new Dacia electric city car.
The car, designed to rival the surge of affordable Chinese imports, will be priced below €18,000 and is anticipated to hit European streets by mid-2026.
Developed independently by Dacia on the platform of the new Renault E-Twingo, the compact model promises to offer an affordable entry point into the electric car market.
Revoz, based in Novo Mesto, already handles the production of the Renault E-Twingo, with plans to begin manufacturing in 2024. The plant’s expansion could create up to 400 new jobs, with the Slovene government offering up to €40 million in subsidies to support the project.
While there are rumors that Revoz could also produce the Nissan Pixo EV by 2027, official confirmation remains pending.
This bold move represents a significant step for Dacia and Renault, aiming to strengthen their position in the evolving EV landscape.
