The Renault-Nissan Group sold 8.26 million PC + LCVs in 2013
- The Franco-Japanese group Renault-Nissan sold 8.26 million vehicles worldwide in 2013, representing an increase of 2% compared to 2012. It therefore retains its fourth place behind the Toyota, General Motors and Volkswagen groups, and ahead of Hyundai-Kia group selling an extra 700 000 units (against 1 000 000 in 2012).
- The Nissan Division (Nissan, Datsun, Infiniti) sold 5.1 million vehicles (+3.3%) and the Renault division (Renault, Dacia, Samsung) 2.63 million (+3.1%). Autovaz sold sold 0.53 million vehicles. This is the only industry group to decline in 2013 (-13.1%) due to a decline in the Russian market. This therefore reduces the growth of the group as a whole.
- The year 2013 has been marked by the good performance of the Nissan brand on its core markets (U.S.: 1 250 000 units, China: 950 000 units, Japan: 680 000 units) the year was also marked by the rebooting of Renault on its core market (Europe: 1 300 000 units), thanks to the new Clio IV and Captur. The group has been one of the few (with Daimler and Tata Motors) to benefit from growth in a European market down by 1.9% over the whole year 2013.
- The year 2013 was also marked by the continued growth of the Entry range (41% of Renault sales), as well as the confirmation of the establishment of Renault in China (with Dongfeng), the creation of a Low cost brand by Nissan (Datsun), and the confirmation of the takeover of the Russian manufacturer Autovaz.
