Chinese car company Chery to enter Romanian market in July
<p>The Chinese car company with the largest international presence, Chery, will officially begin selling cars on the Romanian market this year, <a href="https://www.profit.ro/povesti-cu-profit/auto-transporturi/exclusiv-marca-chery-anunta-cand-vine-in-romania-va-lansa-suv-uri-22002956?utm_source=Rss&amp;utm_medium=Referral&amp;utm_campaign=Cross">Profit.ro</a> reported. Its local&nbsp;catalog is to include the Tiggo 8 SUV, the first model officially approved in the European Union, which will soon be followed by two other SUVs, Tiggo 7 and the smallest in the range, Tiggo 4, which will also be the most affordable.</p> <p>The Tiggo 8 is a mid-size SUV, with a length of 4.72 meters, and also offers an optional 7-seat version. The cost in non-EU countries is about EUR 30,000. In Europe, it will also be launched with a PHEV engine, which will be much more expensive than the gasoline version.</p> <p>The Chery Group has already entered Europe with two other brands, Omoda and Jaecoo, both offering only fully electric engines. Sales so far, affected by customs tariffs, have not been encouraging.</p> <p>In 2024, Omoda sold approximately 15,000 vehicles in Europe, and Jaecoo reached around 2,500 units delivered.</p> <p>“Chery aims to enter the Romanian market in July, with the Chery brand, not with Omoda and Jaecoo,” Lexi Xu, Brand Manager of Chery International for the Romanian market, told Profit.ro.</p> <p>Unlike other Chinese manufacturers, Chery continues to produce and sell combustion engine cars under the company’s main brand, which could be an advantage at this time, both due to the customs tariffs applied to electric vehicle imports into the EU, which do not apply to combustion engines, and due to demand.</p> <p>Currently, any vehicle produced in China owes a 10% tax in the country when it enters EU territory, but the taxes are generally applied to the invoicing prices of the importer, which are much lower than the retail prices in the dealer network.</p> <p>The Chery brand is already present in Turkey, Serbia, and Ukraine. The Tiggo 4, the cheapest model, is sold in these markets with prices starting from approximately EUR 18,000, a level that should also be displayed by dealers in Romania.</p> <p>Chery representatives have stated that they are considering building a plant in Eastern Europe, but have never named the country in which they would like to invest.&nbsp;</p> <p>Several Romanian companies specialized in car sales are already in negotiations with Chery to sign representation contracts in the main localities of Romania.</p> <p>Chery, a state-owned company, is the largest car exporter in China, with a volume of 1.14 million vehicles exported last year, in 2024, nearly half of the company’s global sales. The exported volume was almost three times greater than BYD’s exports and more than double that of Geely, also surpassing rivals from SAIC (MG).</p> <p>In 2024, Chery sold 2.6 million vehicles worldwide, almost one million more than BYD. In its home market, China, the carmaker ranked only 5th in sales rankings, but had the highest growth in the market, with a 65% increase compared to the level recorded in 2023.</p> <p><em><a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></em></p> <p><em>(Photo source:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dreamstime.com/olgavolodina_info">Olgavolodina</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-photos">Dreamstime.com</a>)</em></p>

Chinese electric carmaker BYD readies entry into Romanian market
<p>BYD, a major carmaker of electric vehicles and a challenger to the US-based Tesla, is preparing to enter Romania and has already recruited a Romanian, Andrei Duică, to lead operations.</p> <p>The company headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, will have a representative office in Romania starting in April 2025, with 20 car dealerships and 7 electric and plug-in hybrid models available for sale. By the end of the year, the network will expand to 30 dealerships, with plans to reach 60 locations in the next three years, according to <a href="https://evmarket.ro/masini-noi/byd/byd-romania-masini-electrice-53803/">EV Market</a>. </p> <p>The first Romanian cities to have BYD showrooms will be Bucharest, Iași, Brașov, Timișoara, Cluj, Constanța, and Pitești.</p> <p>BYD is entering Romania directly with its own importer, while other Chinese car brands such as MG rely on local partners. The carmaker will offer consumers models like the Dolphin Surf, the Sealion 7, and the Atto 2, vying for the market share of models such as Dacia Spring, Tesla Model Y, and Ford Puma.</p> <p>The company has already recruited Andrei Duică to lead operations in Romania and Bulgaria as part of its entry into the local market. Duică was previously the Executive Director at Trust Motors, the importer of Peugeot, Citroën, and Opel.</p> <p>"We are working on price positioning. The BYD Dolphin Surf is a competitor for the Dacia Spring. On the plug-in hybrid side, we have the BYD Seal-U DM-i and a model that will compete in the C-segment sedan category. All will be available on the Romanian market in 2025," he said.</p> <p>In 2025, BYD expects to sell 5,000 electric and plug-in hybrid cars in Romania.</p> <p>The company is currently building its first European factory in Szeged, Hungary.</p> <p><em><a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></em></p> <p><em>(Photo source: <a href="https://www.dreamstime.com/bennnn_info">Bennnn</a> | <a href="https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-photos">Dreamstime.com</a>)</em></p>

Christian Tour takes over TUI Travel Center's agency network in Romania
<p>Travel agency Christian Tour will take over the network of TUI Travel Center agencies in Romania.&nbsp;The value of the financial transaction associated with the takeover of the agency network exceeds EUR 1 million, the company said.</p> <p>The takeover of the TUI Travel Romania network will be completed by December 31 of this year.</p> <p>Following the acquisition, Christian Tour will own the largest travel retail network in Romania. By integrating the 15 agencies taken over from TUI Travel Center and optimizing the existing network, Christian Tour aims to reach 80 points of sale nationwide by the beginning of 2025. The TUI Travel Center Romania network will undergo a rebranding process, with all its agencies becoming Christian Tour. &nbsp;</p> <p>Previously, TUI Travel Center Romania was owned, together with its network of agencies, by German Touristik, part of the Memento Group. After the transfer of the network to Christian Tour, German Touristik will continue to remain a Tour Operator under its own brand, becoming the ultra-discounter of the Memento Group and focusing its activity on the B2B segment, with ultra low-cost accommodation and charter offers distributed to over 1,000 reseller agencies in Romania.</p> <p>"Lately, we have been making considerable financial and structural efforts to prepare for our IPO," Cristian Pandel, CEO and Chairman of Christian Tour, explains. "We have fully taken over structures or companies in which we were shareholders, or even majority shareholders, in order to strengthen our position on the market and ensure all the necessary components of a healthy and successful travel business - from the AnimaWings airline, which became 100% Romanian this year, to the network of agencies, from local players to agencies offering niche travel experiences. […] In the next stage, we aim to become the largest online travel platform in the country."</p> <p>A member of Christian Tour Holding, Christian Tour is the largest travel agency in Romania, owned by brothers Cristian and Marius Pandel. Founded in 1997, the agency serves over 400,000 tourists in Romania annually through its online booking website and network of 74 sales offices. In 2023, Christian Tour posted sales revenues of more than RON 683 million, up 62.08% year-on-year. &nbsp;The agency has its own fleet of coaches and contracts charter planes from specialized suppliers or from the aviation company AnimaWings, also a member of the group.</p> <p><em>(Photo:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dreamstime.com/contact5982_info">Vlad Ispas</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-photos">Dreamstime.com</a>)</em></p> <p><em>[email protected]</em></p>

Christmas tree charity auction raises funds for vulnerable Romanian children’s access to education at 24th edition
<p>Designers and artists have once again joined the&nbsp;<i>Festivalului Brazilor de Crăciun/Christmas Tree Festival</i> charity event in Bucharest, creating 23 unique Christmas trees to be auctioned during the 24th edition next month. The gala will be held on December 5 at the National Art Museum of Romania.</p> <p>According to the organizers, Save the Children Romania, the 2024 event "will be a manifesto edition, dedicated to equal access to quality education."</p> <p>Funds worth more than EUR 9.1 million were raised at the previous 23 editions of the charity event, which supported the socio-educational integration of 257,127 children.</p> <p>Last year alone, the <em>Christmas Tree Festival</em> managed to raise EUR 1 million to restore equal access to education for children at severe risk of poverty and social exclusion. The 22 trees auctioned during the gala, which sold for sums between EUR 10,000 and EUR 140,000, provided socio-educational support for 16,000 children.</p> <p>"A child whose access to education, healthcare, and community is limited is a child who cannot develop according to their potential. That is why access to education, along with integrated social policies that address vulnerabilities, is crucial. Poverty kills education, and it is our responsibility to reduce the effects of poverty on children as much as possible," said Gabriela Alexandrescu, Executive President of Save the Children Romania.&nbsp;</p> <p>Further details about the event are available <a href="https://www.salvaticopiii.ro/festivalul-brazilor-de-craciun-editia-2024" rel="noopener" target="_blank">here</a>.</p> <p>Started in 2021, the partnership between the National Museum of Art of Romania and Save the Children Romania has meant over 1,000 different workshops over the years, benefiting 850 children. Many visited the National Museum of Art of Romania for the first time during this period and came into contact with the masterpieces of Romanian and universal art.</p> <p>In 2024, this collaboration also resulted in an exhibition dedicated to International Children's Day with works by children with social needs. The partnership will continue throughout 2025.</p> <p><i>[email protected]</i></p> <p><i>(Photo source: Save the Children Romania)</i></p>
