In 1994, Dacia 1309 saved the factory from bankruptcy, when Automobile Dacia received an order for 4000 units of Dacia 1309 in China.
The pick-up had Oltcit side mirrors and used the 1397 cc or 1557 cc engine. About 49098 units were made. It is now a very rare car, many of the functioning vehicles have been scrapped. The taxes for this car are very high, because it enters in the utility transport category. The 1.6l was called Silva, it used the 106.00 type, 72 HP/ 5000 rpm engine. Maximum load of cargo was set at 350 kg.
