The Titu Technical Center (CTT), which was inaugurated in 2010 and currently has 250 employees, has ensured the testing of all Dacia models, as well as some vehicles from the Renault range, in the last 15 years.
CTT representatives stated on Wednesday, during a meeting with journalists, that this is the largest testing center of the Renault Group outside of France and the only one of its kind in southeastern Europe.
The center's objective is to guarantee the performance, reliability and durability of vehicles in the most diverse road and climatic conditions. The models are subjected to both static evaluations in specialized laboratories and dynamic tests to analyze road behavior.
The center, located near the town of Titu in Dambovita County, covers an area of 350 hectares and has a network of 32 kilometers of tracks. There are 12 types of tracks that reproduce the most diverse driving conditions, including a 4-kilometer speed ring.
The CTT also has a workshop for making prototypes, a virtual testing laboratory (CAVE), an acoustic test chamber and dozens of laboratories and test benches, equipped with measuring installations and equipment that allow the evaluation of hundreds of parameters.
The Titu center also houses part of an important collection of vehicles produced in Mioveni, starting with the historic Dacia 1100 or Dacia 1300 models.
"The cars were restored at the special workshop we have at the plant [Dacia plant], and at the moment we have almost 100 examples, of which you can see around 40 series vehicles here. At the factory there are a number of prototypes and other series models from the period before 1989", declared Silviu Sepciu, Dacia's press relations manager.
