The millionth Duster was made at Renault's plant in Curitiba, Brazil, and will be delivered to a customer in the same country. The Duster has been loved equally in India and that is one reason why it walked away with the ICOTY last year. The Duster is currently marketed in more than 100 countries and made in five factories across the world
Not only is the Duster one of the driving forces behind the Renault Group's international growth, but it has also emerged as the best-selling Renault model worldwide.
Following its launch four years ago, the Duster has been a resounding success. Combined worldwide productions of Dacia- and Renault-branded Dusters have already reached one million vehicles worldwide.
"Duster is a truly global success story," explains Arnaud Deboeuf, the Renault Group's Entry Programme Director. "With Renault branding, it perfectly meets the demands of our international customers and is contributing to Renault's expansion in emerging markets. At the same time, the Dacia-badged version sold in Europe and our Mediterranean Basin markets has succeeded in attracting a new clientele to the brand thanks to the styling and genuine all-terrain capability it delivers for an affordable price. Duster is definitely a model that is winning us new customers."
Today the Duster is available in more than 100 countries under the Dacia or Renault brands. The biggest markets for the Duster are Russia, France, Brazil, India and Germany and the car is manufactured in five factories across the globe.
The millionth Duster was made at Renault's Curitiba plant in Brazil, but it is currently assembled in five factories: Pitesti (Romania), Curitiba (Brazil), Envigado (Colombia), Moscow (Russia) and Chennai (India).
