Daimler is seriously considering opening its new factory in Romania instead of Poland as it was initially planned. The future factory will aim at building the next-generation A-Class and B-Class models.
Daimler executives seem to have set their heart on Romania to build the company’s plant which would be located in the city of Jucu where Nokia inaugurated its latest factory last week.
Poland seem to have been moved away due to higher production costs than in Romania. A Romanian worker’s hourly rate can be £26 less expensive than a German worker’s. Daimler would invest £297 million to build the new factory which will be able to produce between 130,000 and 150,000 vehicles per year.
