Hey Gamers! Welcome back! Today, we’re diving into the history of one of PUBG Mobile’s most iconic vehicles—the Dacia 1300! You’ve driven it, you’ve crashed it, and let’s be honest… you’ve probably flipped it at least once. But did you know this car has real-life origins dating back to Communist Romania? Buckle up, because this story is about to get wild!
To understand this car, we have to go back to the 1960s, when Romania was under Communist rule. The government wanted a reliable, affordable car for the masses but didn’t have the resources to build one from scratch. So, they made a deal with a French automaker… Renault!
That’s right! The Dacia 1300 is actually based on the Renault 12. In 1969, Romania secured a license to manufacture their own version, and the Dacia 1300 was born. It quickly became a household name across the country!
For decades, if you lived in Romania, you either owned a Dacia or knew someone who did. It was the car of the people!
The Dacia 1300 wasn’t just popular—it was built like a tank. It was simple, cheap, and nearly indestructible. Even today, you can still spot some of these cars on the roads of Eastern Europe!
In fact, some people even call it the ‘AK-47 of cars’—because it just won’t die!
So, why is a Romanian car from the ‘70s in a battle royale game played by millions worldwide?
Well, PUBG’s Erangel map is heavily inspired by Eastern European landscapes, and the developers wanted a car that felt authentic. The Dacia 1300 was the perfect choice! It blended right into the war-torn setting while offering players a fast and reliable escape vehicle.And just like in real life, the Dacia in PUBG is tough—but not exactly the easiest to control!
Before we wrap up, here are some insane facts about the Dacia 1300!
Did you know some early versions of the Dacia had NO fuel gauge? Yep, drivers had to guess how much gas they had left—just like when you’re driving in PUBG without checking your fuel bar!
And here’s something crazy—the Dacia brand still exists today, and guess what? It’s still owned by Renault!
In PUBG, the Dacia 1300 has a max speed of 117 km/h, making it one of the fastest non-boosted vehicles in the game!
Whether in real life or in PUBG, the Dacia 1300 is a true legend. Next time you hop into one in-game, remember—you’re driving a piece of history!
