Dacia Dokker
The Dacia Dokker is a panel van and leisure activity vehicle (LAV) built at the Renault factory in Tangier, Morocco. It was officially launched at the 2012 Casablanca Auto Show, and initially went on sale in Morocco in June 2012. It has been available in Romania since September 2012, and is marketed in Europe, North Africa, Turkey, Israel and French overseas territories. It is manufactured in passenger and panel van variants, as well as a crossover version, the Dokker Stepway, introduced at the 2012 Istanbul Motor Show, featuring body elements similar to the Sandero Stepway. It is marketed in the CIS countries and in the Middle East under the name Renault Dokker and Renault Kangoo in South America, but not in other parts of the world, as it would cannibalize the sales of its French sourced brother, the Renault Kangoo. In 2018, Dacia Italia together with Focaccia Group created a pick-up variant for the Italian market. Markets
