The most sold vehicles in Venezuela in 2013
- Details
- We saw previously that the brands the most produced in Venezuela are Chevrolet, Ford, Mitsubishi and Toyota, who sell most of their production locally.The country therefore intends most of its sales for the first two American groups, present since the 50s, and two Japanese groups, that have arrived much more recently.
- On the passenger car market (60% of registrations), the first five places are occupied by four segment C cars and by a car from segment B. Of the four segment C cars, figure a Chinese car, the Fengshen S30, produced in China by the Dongfeng Group.
- Three Chevrolet are among the first ten sales (Aveo, Cruze, Orlando). They are assembled locally (Valencia). One notes the presence of two Toyota (Corolla, Fortuner) among the top ten, also assembled locally (Cumana).
- In the market for light commercial vehicles (40% of registrations),six pick-up vans are in the top ten, including the Ford F-Series and the Chevrolet Silverado (leaders on the U.S. market). The pickups are two-thirds of Venezuela's light commercial vehicles.
- Three Chevrolet (Silverado, NPR, C-3500) and three Ford (F-Series, Explorer, Cargo) are in the top ten along with four Japanese models (including two Mitsubishi). These models are mostly assembled locally.

- Details
- The car ownership rate (PC + LCV) at the 31 December 2012 of major automobile markets has recently been calculated by Inovev.
- The United States remains by far the largest (810 cars per 1 000 inhabitants), followed by Canada (620 cars per 1 000 inhabitants), Japan (590 cars per 1 000 inhabitants) and the European Union (550 vehicles for 1000 inhabitants).
- At the back of the pack,we have China (80 cars per 1 000 inhabitants) and India (40 cars per 1 000 inhabitants), evidence that these two countries are little motorized and still have a high margin growth in the coming decades.
- Within the European Union, there is a surprising observation: Italy, Spain and France (Southern countries) are ahead of England and Germany (Northern countries).
- Globally, the automotive market has virtually grown non stop since 1980 (average rate: 2.7% per year, the biggest crisis having been that of 2008-2009). This growth is expected to continue at with even greater rate in the coming decades (between 3% and 3.5%).

Inovev lowers its forecast for the Renault Zoe
- Details
- The Renault Zoe does not yet respond to the marketing objectives the direction of the carmaker provided shortly before the launch of the model
- Therefore Inovev has updated its production forecasts between July 2011 and July 2013, in order to meet the current declining production.
- The forecasts made in July 2011 took into account: 1 / the initial announcements made by Renault that planed to sell 150 000 in the long term (2017-2018), 2 / heavy investments and production capacity in Flins set at 150 000 units per year, 3 / the very competitive price of the model compared to a combustion engine model from segment B.
- The forecast made in July 2012were adjusted downward based on various elements of appreciation (such as the order status), which led to more caution and a slower take off of the model.
- Forecasts from July 2013reflect this time the sales of the model on its first marketing year. They have been revised downwards due to a much weaker demand than expected, the lack of charging stations and lower sales forecasts announced by Renault .
- Sales of the model sold in Europe alone may not exceed 10 000 units throughout the year 2013.
