Renault-Nissan became the world’s largest OEM in the 1st half of 2017
- The Renault-Nissan group became the world's largest carmaker in the first half of 2017, ahead of the Volkswagen and Toyota groups, which experienced lower sales growth.
- Indeed, the Renault-Nissan group (Renault, Dacia, Samsung, Nissan, Datsun, Infiniti, Mitsubishi and Lada) reported selling 5.27 million vehicles worldwide in the first half of 2017, up 7% from the first half 2016). The Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Seat, Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini and Bugatti) reported selling 5.16 million vehicles worldwide in the first half of 2017 (up 4.2% from the first half 2016). Toyota Group (Toyota, Lexus, Daihatsu, Hino) said it sold 5.13 million vehicles worldwide in the first half of 2017 (up 2.7% from the first half of 2016).
- The next five groups remain in the same order as last year, but the gaps between them have changed.
- Indeed, GM group (4.17 million vehicles) without its European branch is clearly distanced by the first three. However, it is ahead of Hyundai-Kia (3.74 million) and Ford (3.30 million). PSA group (2.18 million), reinforced by GM's European division, is now right behind FCA group (2.33 million), which it could surpass in 2017 or 2018. Everything will depend on the size of the US market downturn, on which FCA is very active, in 2017 and 2018.
