Opened under the names Renault AutoWallis and Dacia AutoWallis, the dealership is located in one of the busiest districts of the Hungarian capital, Könyves Kálmán körút in Ferencváros. In addition to the showrooms, the more than 2,000 square meters commercial and service center also houses a 15-stall workshop.
The move is in line with the strategic objective of AutoWallis, which aims to continue growing not only through organic expansion and acquisitions but also via business development while leveraging unique synergy opportunities within the group, the company tells the Budapest Business Journal.
As an example, one of the first fleet sales of the newly opened dealership is the 200 new Renault Clio cars supplied to wigo carsharing, owned by the AutoWallis Group. The vehicles purchased for the wigo fleet have been chosen by the carsharing provider to ensure the highest customer experience and respond to user needs, because the new Clio models embody everything that wigo customers expect from a small city car.
The Clios with wigo logos will be available in Budapest from the end of October in the fleet of wigo carsharing.
Péter Antal, retail business unit director of AutoWallis, said that the opening of the new dealership is an important milestone in the group’s operations in Hungary, as the new car market in Budapest has a higher growth potential for Dacia and Renault models compared to the rural market, with about half of these vehicles sold in the capital and fleet purchases typically decided here as well.
