03/11/1999 - Renault Plans $6K Car for Developing Nations (SSPC goes under) France - French automaker Renault is reportedly planning to produce a modern-type car that can be sold for $6,000 in developing countries, reports the Detroit Free Press. The company is currently working to buy a majority interest in Dacia, the Romanian national automaker that already produces a $4,000 car that has been in production for 30 years. Labor costs in Romania are only $150 per month, which would help bring down Renault's cost for the new car. Other competitors in the low-cost 'world car' field include Indian automaker Telco, which produces a $6,125 car and a Hyundai-Maruti alliance in India that sells cars for about $7,000. DaimlerChrysler is also developing the Composite Concept Vehicle, a low-cost car that uses a two-piece plastic body to cut costs.
