Local auto market needs to develop infrastructure for electric cars, considering that there is demand for such vehicles, Jan Ptacek, CEO Renault Commercial Roumanie commercial division of Renault in Romania said, quoted by capital.ro.

Renault has set this year an increase of electric cars sales, especially those of ZOE model, which has a starting price of EUR 22,000 with VAT without battery.

Sales of Renault cars have stagnated in January to 272 cars, Clio’s growth of 52 percent to 132 units, offsetting Captur’s decline of 62 percent. The French brand has plans to restart the sales this year through new models – Megane, coming in March, Kadjar compact SUV launched late last year, as well as the new midsize sedan – Talisman.

The French carmaker rolled into the 2016 Geneva Motor Show with a special-edition Zoe, being Europe’s best-selling all-electric passenger car. ZOE is the first Renault car designed entirely as an all-electric model. The city car, unveiled in 2012, is produced at the Flins plant in France on the same production lines as Clio.

Moreover, with its ZOE, the French half of the Renault-Nissan Alliance is attempting to break through. The car, conceived as electric from the outset rather than adapted from a combustion-engined model, is supermini-sized.

I started my way in life with the intention to pursue a teaching career. But, after graduating from the Faculty of Letters – the University of Bucharest in 2004, my first job as a reporter at one of the leading newspapers in Romania changed my perspective. I have specialized in communication and communication campaigns, following the Master's courses at the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Studies (FJSC), attending a BBC Communications scholarship.
I’ve represented several important publications in Romania as business journalist, being accredited in the finance and banking field. In 2015, I had the opportunity to interview the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Mission Chief for Romania, Andrea Schaechter. As business journalist, I also had the opportunity to interview ministers for Economics and Commercial
Affairs offices within different embassies in Romania or officials of large companies investing on the domestic market.
After almost 15 years of journalism, I still want to explore new ways, to inform and stay updated. That’s why The Romania Journal project fits me so well.
Today I describe myself as a passionate about the history of world culture, having a PhD in Hebrew Culture and Civilization, after a scholarship at the University of Haifa International School, as a language addict, an environmental activist, pet lover and traveler.
