This collaboration kicks off with the integration in the all-new Duster as well as the new Spring, now in production. As of August, approximately 30 000 Dacia cars were already equipped with FORVIA’s Apps Market – a scalable white-label Apps Market solution, designed to meet customers’ needs and expectations.

Dacia Duster and Dacia Spring users will benefit from a range of apps including Spotify, Amazon Music and Here Navigation selected by Dacia among the growing Aptoide catalog of over 200 applications. These apps, in their secure automotive version, will be available for free download to consumers through the Appstore link in the car.

Aptoide’s Apps Market keeps drivers and passengers safely connected and entertained, especially while parked and charging. Dacia cars are now part of FORVIA’s target to reach 20% of smart vehicles market share by 2025 through its Apps Market.

“Connectivity keeps transforming drivers and passengers experience in the car,” said Tara Akhavan, Software Solutions and Ecosystems Vice-president at FORVIA. “We are diligently listening to the market to offer the apps that provide added value to end-users. Working together with OEMs enables a swift integration of apps into cars, while adhering to safety regulations. Our fast-growing Apps Market provides new use cases beyond in-car entertainment, and we are pleased to have Dacia onboard and equipped with our software to shape the future of mobility UX together.”

Dacia joining 22 other car brands in partnership with Aptoide further solidifies the company’s role as a global leader in reaching millions of users worldwide.
