In the midst of the group difficulties, a reason for satisfaction for Luca de Meo, the boss of the Renault group: a market share that progresses in Germany, in a market, which.
Who said that the French manufacturers couldn't do it outside their borders?If it is true that a PSA, in particular, is strongly dependent on France and more generally on Europe, it is a bit less true for the Renault group, which had known how to diversify its portfolio and its activities under theGhosn era.
But in the country of Premium and Volkswagen, what about?The German subsidiary of Renault delivers interesting data.The diamond group delivered 202,500 vehicles last year, Dacia and Renault included.This may seem little with regard to deliveries in France, but we must remember the specificity of Germany: German cars, above all.
Renault is the first French manufacturer, the brand points to 8th place in the general sales ranking.Renault alone weighs heavier than Peugeot and Citroën in Germany, without counting Dacia, who however recorded a heavy fall at - 37.4 %;and 52,300 registrations.
In a German market down 19.1 %, Renault managed to maintain almost the 2019 level: 126,100 deliveries, against 131,200 the previous year.Direct consequence: despite Dacia's tumble, the Renault group sees its market share increase in Germany, reaching 6.35 %.And the diamond owes it partly to a certain Zoe, which has become for the first time the best -selling Renault in Germany (30,400 deliveries)!
For Renault, it's a good sign: it means that there is waiting for compact electric cars in a country where the offer is still very high -end.For Uwe Hochgeschurtz, the boss of Renault in Germany, we must now wait for the Dacia Spring."The market is developing at dizzying speed and there is room for both," he said.Place for electric SUVs at € 80,000, and for a small car at € 10,000.
