WORLDWIDE SALES RESULTS 20201
Groupe Renault achieves its CAFE2
objectives, the Renault brand is the electrical leader in
Europe
- In a context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the
2020 Groupe Renault worldwide sales totalled
2,949,849 vehicles, down 21.3% in a global automobile market that
declined by 14.2%.
- Groupe Renault confirms that it has achieved its CAFE
(passenger cars and light commercial vehicles) targets by the end
of 20203.
- After a first half of 2020 in which the Group's main
markets were severely impacted by the pandemic and the associated
containment measures, the second half of the year shows greater
resilience: Group sales in Europe remained in line with the
markets.
- On the European electric market, the Renault brand
doubled its sales and confirmed its leadership with 115,888
electric vehicles sold. ZOE is the best-selling electric car with
114% growth at 100,657 units.
- The order portfolio in Europe at the end of December
2020 was up by 14% compared to 2019, due partly to the
attractiveness of the new E-TECH hybrid and plug-in hybrid
offerings, while inventories were estimated to be
down approximately by 20% from 2019.
- In 2020, the Groupe Renault is making progress in the
most profitable sales channels, with the Renault brand increasing
its share in the retail market in Europe by almost one
point.
- In 2021 the Group will continue its profit-oriented
sales policy with the full implementation of the Renaulution
strategic plan presented on January 14, 2021.
Boulogne-Billancourt, 12/02/2021
"Groupe
Renault is aiming to turn around its performance. We are now
focusing on profitability rather than sales volumes, with a higher
net unit margin per vehicle in each of our markets. The first
results are already visible in the second half of 2020, especially
in Europe where the Renault brand is making progress in the most
profitable sales channels and strengthening its leadership in the
electric segment," said Luca de Meo, Chief Executive Officer of
Groupe Renault.
"The
pandemic had a strong impact on our sales activity in the first
half of the year. The Group was able to cope with this situation
thanks to the mobilization of all its employees. The second half of
the year saw greater resilience and a good performance in the
electric and hybrid markets. We are starting 2021 with a higher
level of orders than in 2019, a lower level of inventory and a
higher price positioning across the entire range," said Denis le
Vot, Senior Vice President Sales of Groupe Renault.
In
the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, Groupe Renault saw its sales
fall by 21.3% to 2,949,849 units, in a market down 14.2%. The
decline in group sales was mainly due to its high exposure in
countries which were strictly confined and suspended their sales
activities in the second quarter, as well as a slowdown in the
fourth quarter, particularly in France. In addition, the group has
pursued a sales policy focusing on profitability over sales
volumes.
Electric vehicles: Renault, the leading
brand in EuropeIn a fast-growing electric market, the
Renault brand confirmed its leadership in the European electric
market with 115,888 vehicles sold, an increase of 101.4% compared
to 2019. ZOE is the best-selling electric car with
100,657 units, up 114%. In the electric utility segment,
Kangoo Z.E. is the best-selling
vehicle. The Renault Twingo Electric and Dacia Spring will enhance
the Group's electric vehicle offering in 2021.
In addition to its electric range (BEV), Renault
has been offering an E-TECH hybrid and plug-in
hybrid on its best-sellers (Clio, Captur & Megane
estate) since the summer. The brand is thus establishing itself on
the market for hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles with more than
30,000 sales in Europe, representing 25% of order volumes for these
vehicles.During the first half of 2021, the E-TECH range will be
expanded with the arrival of the Renault Arkana E-TECH hybrid,
Captur E-TECH hybrid and Megane sedan E-TECH plug-in hybrid.
In EuropeGroup sales totalled
1,443,917 units, down 25.8% in a market down 23.6%. The
Renault brand slightly increased its market share
to 7.7%, up 0.1 point, thanks to the successful renewal of its B
segment models (Clio, Captur and ZOE) and the successful launch of
the E-TECH range.Clio is the best-selling vehicle in its
category in Europe with 227,079 units sold. The Renault
brand thus increased its share of sales in the retail market by
nearly one point. The Dacia brand recorded a 31.7%
drop in sales to 385,674 vehicles sold. The Sandero remains for the
4th consecutive year the best-selling vehicle within the retail
market. Two of the brand's historic models, the New Sandero and New
Sandero Stepway, have been available since the end of 2020.Dacia’s
new dual-fuel petrol and LPG engines, which are offered on the
majority of its range under the ECO-G name, account for more than
25% of its vehicle sales in Europe.
Outside Europe, Group sales
were down 16.5%, mainly due to a 45% decline in sales in Brazil as
a result of the reorientation towards the most profitable
channels.
In Russia, the Group's
second-largest country in terms of sales volume, Groupe Renault is
the leader with a market share of 30.1%, up 1.2 points. Sales fell
5.5% in a market down 9.2%. LADA confirmed its
position as the leading brand in the Russian market with 21.5%
market share. The LADA Granta and LADA Vesta remain the two
best-selling vehicles in Russia.The Renault
brand's market share fell 0.2 points to 8% pending the arrival of
the new Duster in the first half of 2021.
In India, Group sales fell 9.4%
in a market that was down 18.8%. Renault thus achieved a market
share of 2.8% (+0.3 points) thanks to the success of Triber. In the
first half of 2021, the Renault range (Kwid, Duster, Triber) will
be expanded with the arrival of Kiger, a brand-new SUV.
In Turkey, the Group remains
the leader in a market making a strong recovery.
In South Korea, the Renault
Samsung Motors brand posted a 14.2% increase in sales in a market
up 5.5% thanks to the success of its new XM3 model launched in
March 2020.
