The Romanian automotive industry, contributing 14% to GDP, requires a roadmap for future energy price developments, according to ACAROM's secretary general. Adrian Sandu highlighted the industry's disadvantage due to high energy costs, urging for a strategic plan rather than immediate price reductions. He emphasized the need for energy independence and competitive pricing to support the sector, which employs over 200,000 people and significantly impacts exports. Sandu criticized the European Green Deal's implementation, noting the unanticipated energy consumption crisis linked to electrification. He called for state investment in energy production, storage, and distribution to address these challenges.
