Renault may only produce 700,000 vehicles in France from 2028-2029
- In 2013, Renault committed to produce in France at least 710,000 vehicles from 2016. This commitment was reached in 2017 and 2018, with 745,000 and 720,000 vehicles produced respectively, but very quickly the production of Renault in France fell to 676,000 units in 2019, 475,000 units in 2020 and 385,000 units in 2021.
- Indeed, the last two years have been affected both by the Covid-19 crisis, by a decline in demand in Europe and by the semiconductor crisis, but they are also the production relocation of a last series of Clio in Slovenia and the decline of Scenic, Espace and Talisman models which resulted to a strong production of the brand in France.
- Today, Renault management announced its ambition to produce 700,000 vehicles in France each year, following the application of the "Re-Nouveau 2025" plan for the period 2022-2024.
- Renault has therefore not made a firm commitment with a specific date, on production levels, and our forecasts show that this volume of 700,000 passenger cars and light utility vehicles may only be reached from 2028-2029. Actually, Renault's ambition will depend not only on the products marketed by the carmaker, but above all on the successful or unsuccessful transition to battery electric in the European automotive ecosystem by 2030.
- The ramp-up of electric vehicles in the Douai plant (400,000 capacity units per year) will therefore be gradual and the vehicles assembled in Maubeuge (100,000 units), Batilly (100,000) and Sandouville (100,000) will only be light utility vehicles, meaning that they will not be necessarily the first market to massively be electrified. It is to remember that the Flinsplant will stop new vehicle assembly in 2024, resulting in the end of the Renault Zoé and Nissan Micra.

In 2021, SUVs represent 42% of the European market and 47% of the Chinese market
- 说明
In 2021, SUVs represent 42% of the European market and 47% of the Chinese market
- Inovev compared the segmentation and breakdown by body type of passenger cars sold in the European market and the Chinese market over the first 10 months of 2021.
- Regarding the segmentation, the European market is mostly represented over this period by B and C segment cars, as these two segments represent 72% of the European market, of which 36% is B segment and 36% C segment. The D-segment (medium cars) is increasingly marginalized as it only represents 15% of the European market in 2021. A (entry level) and E (Premium cars) Segments are reduced to the bare minimum, not exceeding 8% and 5% of the European market respectively.
- The Chinese market has a completely different characteristics. Small cars (A and B segments) only represent 12% of the Chinese market, of which 8% is B segment and 4% A segment. The Chinese market is more of a medium car market, with 45% of C segment cars and 38% of D-segment cars. These two segments represent 83% of the Chinese market. E-segment cars represent only 5% of the Chinese market, as in Europe.
- By body type, the differences are less important. Sedans represent 56% of the European market in 2021 and 48% of the Chinese market. SUVs represent 42% of the European market and 47% of the Chinese market. Finally, MPVs represent 2% of the European market and 5% of the Chinese market.

B and C segments thermal cars fell the most in Europe in 2021
- 说明
B and C segments thermal cars fell the most in Europe in 2021
- In a European passenger car (passenger car) market that grew by just 2.7% in the first 10 months of 2021, the BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle) market grew by 79%, from 495 000 units to 886,000 over the same period, the PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) market grew by 98%, from 433,000 units to 858,000 and the HEV (non-plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) market grew by 32%, increasing from 396,000 units to 522,000.
- Sales of electrified vehicles (xEVs) have therefore increased from 1,324,000 units in the first 10 months of 2020 to 2,266,000 in the first 10 months of 2021, which represents an increase of 942,000 units over the year (+71%), while the European market as a whole grew by only 261,000 units during the same period. This means that sales of combustion engine cars lost 681,000 units over the period.
- Which combustion engine cars have declined the most over this period in the European market? It was especially the B and C segments cars that lost the most in volume. The Ford Focus lost 60,773 sales over one year, followed by the Renault Clio (-47,371 sales), the Ford Fiesta (-38,689 sales), the Mercedes Class A (-31,392 sales), the Renault Captur (- 30,478 sales), the Volkswagen Golf (-26,419 sales), the Skoda Octavia (-23,116 sales), the Renault Kadjar (-22,059 sales), the Peugeot 308 (-21,993 sales) and the Seat Leon (- 20,863 sales).
- It is therefore the heart of the market that has suffered the most from the increase in sales of electric cars in Europe in 2021. It is to be noted that only thermal versions of models have been taken into account, even though an electrified version could be available (example: the Renault Clio hybrid was not included in the calculations).

BEV sales in the US didn’t exceed 4% of the market in 2021
- 说明
BEV sales in the US didn’t exceed 4% of the market in 2021
- The two graphs below represent the monthly sales volume of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in the US and Chinese markets from January 2018 to October 2021. The left graph represents the sales volume and the right graph represents the market share of BEV in the country's overall market.
- Compared to BEV sales in China, BEV sales in USA are very low even compared to BEV sales in Europe. In 2021, we still do not reach the 50,000 monthly sales of BEV in the USA, or 363,500 units over the first 10 months of 2021, against 260,000 units over the whole of 2020 and 238,000 units over the 2019 full year. In China, BEV sales reached 1,958,500 units over 10 months 2021 and 900,000 units in Europe.
- Compared to PHEV sales in China, PHEV sales are also very low in USA, even lower compared to PHEV sales in Europe. In 2021, we still do not reach the 20,000 monthly sales of PHEV in the US market, i.e. 130,000 units over the first 10 months of 2021, against 65,000 units over the whole 2020 year and 83,000 units over the full 2019 year. In China, PHEV sales reached 431,000 units over 10 months 2021 and 843,000 units in Europe.
- Compared to HEV sales in China, HEV sales are much higher this time, even compared to HEV sales in Europe. In 2021, we highly exceed the 60,000 monthly sales of HEV in the USA, or 680,000 units over the first 10 months of 2021, against 461,000 units over the full 2020 year and 402,000 units over the whole of 2019 year.
