Given the current political situation in Turkey, it seems the VW Group is back to where it started as Romania is allegedly the preferred location. Business magazine <em>Ziarul Financiar<\/em> reports an automaker is interested in setting up shop in Cluj. Specifically, at the new Tetarom V industrial park.<\/p>\n<p>Although no automaker names were officially mentioned, local newspaper <em>Actual de Cluj<\/em> cites the president of Cluj\u2019s county council, Alin Ti\u0219e, saying in a press conference that a car manufacturer is interested. It is believed the VW Group wants to build a new factory for its sub-brand Skoda to assemble electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15673\" src=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Skoda-Enyaq-iV-Coupe-production-start-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2250\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Skoda-Enyaq-iV-Coupe-production-start-2.jpg 2250w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Skoda-Enyaq-iV-Coupe-production-start-2-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Skoda-Enyaq-iV-Coupe-production-start-2-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Skoda-Enyaq-iV-Coupe-production-start-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Skoda-Enyaq-iV-Coupe-production-start-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Skoda-Enyaq-iV-Coupe-production-start-2-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2250px) 100vw, 2250px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As a refresher, the Czech firm has announced <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/06\/24\/skoda-three-new-electric-vehicles-2030\/\">three new EVs<\/a> will be launched by the end of the decade, all of which will be smaller and more affordable than the Enyaq. Choosing Cluj makes sense since the Tetarom V industrial park is a strategic location. The city is connected to the Western European highway infrastructure via the A10 Sebe\u015f-Turda. In addition, Cluj will be linked to the same region through a new electrified railway network.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Skoda recently expanded its EV offerings by launching a <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2022\/02\/14\/skoda-enyaq-coupe-iv-enters-production\/\">coupe-styled variant of the Enyaq large SUV<\/a>. In the coming years, the company is expected to introduce a new entry-level car to fill in the void left after the Citigo-e iV&#8217;s demise. It&#8217;s likely going to be built on the front-wheel-drive MEB Small platform shared with the direct replacements for the <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2022\/02\/18\/2022-volkswagen-e-up-on-sale-europe\/\">VW e-up!<\/a> and SEAT Mii.<\/p>\n<p>VW has already previewed its budget-friendly EV offerings through the <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/09\/09\/2021-iaa-volkswagen-id-life-the-affordable-electric-vehicle\/\">ID. Life concept<\/a> unveiled last year at IAA in Munich. The production model will be out around 2025 when SEAT and Cupra will launch their own versions.
