Alexandru Eftimiu, a sales officer with the vehicle part unit of Bosch group, stated that one of the most precise gauges of the economy is the truck field and when diesel car part consumption by road transporters is constant or rises, then there is undoubtedly economic growth. "To Bosch, this is a very clear indicator: Trucks run, the economy runs. If there are sales of diesel parts for trucks this means the economy generally fares well, trucks and transporters are working, there's production somewhere, something needs to be moved from A to B," said Eftimiu. Bosch Romania is one of the biggest importers of vehicle parts on the market, valued by the main distributors at around one billion euros in 2010, flat from last year. Bosch Romania put last year's turnover at 159m euros, slightly down from the 161m-euro figure of 2008. When will the market bounce back? "This is the main question. I don't believe it will fall further in 2010 (...)," Eftimiu said.
