Peugeot and Renault 2018 in Iran Review
- The Iranian automobile market declined by 32.9% in 2018 (960,000 units compared to 1.43 million in 2017) following the economic sanctions imposed by the US administration in 2018. As a result, the objectives of the two French brands present in Iran, Peugeot and Renault, were frustrated in 2018 by these sanctions, which took effect in the second half of 2018.
- As a result, Peugeot did not reach the 500,000 sales expected and Renault did not reach the 200,000 sales expected. Instead, Peugeot sales decreased from 443,000 units in 2017 to 353,000 in 2018, and Renault sales decreased from 162,000 units in 2017 to 102,000 in 2018. This means that 150,000 sales were lost by these French brands in 2018 compared to 2017, and even 250,000 compared to their targets. The year 2019 is likely to be even worse, as economic sanctions will be taken into account throughout the year and not just for a half-year, as in 2018.
- The only brands that managed to increase their sales were Chinese brands such as JAC, Dongfeng, FAW, Changan, MG and Great Wall (which did not sell vehicles in 2017), thanks to very low prices. Hyundai and Mazda also improved for the same reasons. The economic sanctions introduced in the country have understandably encouraged Iranian customers to switch to low-cost models. In addition, Chinese manufacturers are not affected by economic sanctions against Iran, since the Chinese government does not follow US sanctions policy.

The global automotive market by country in 2018

The global automotive market by country in 2018
- The global automotive market (PC + LCV) recorded a slight decline in 2018 (-0.3%), mainly due to the downturn in several markets, including China. China nevertheless represents 30% of world sales in 2018 (with volumes at -2.8% compared to 2017), and thus remains the world's leading automotive market ahead of Europe (19% of the world market, with volumes at +0.4%) and the United States (19% of the world market, with volumes at +0.5%). Behind these three major markets are Japan (6% of the world market, with volumes at +0.7%), India (5% of the world market, with volumes at +9.5%), Brazil (3% of the world market, with volumes at +14.6%), Canada (2% of the world market, with a market at -2.6%), South Korea (2% of the world market, with a market at +1.1%) and Russia (2% of the world market, with volumes at +12.8%). These nine countries account for 88% of the world market, the 190 other countries together make up only 12%.
- Looking at the evolution of the top four world markets since 1970, Japan, Europe and the United States have remained stable since the early 2000s, with the last two decades characterized by a complete lack of growth. Only the Chinese market has enabled global growth. This market has successively overtaken Japan, the United States and then Europe, but the coming years seem less favourable.
- Inovev expects stability in these four major markets over the next few years, due to the slowdown in global economic growth.

Inovev forecasts 400,000 new Renault Clio per year

Inovev forecasts 400,000 new Renault Clio per year
- Renault unveiled the fifth generation of the Clio, which will be presented in avant-première at the Geneva Motor Show in March and be on sale from September 2019. This model is crucial for the Renault group (Renault, Dacia, Samsung, Lada, Alpine, Jinbei, Huasong) because the Clio, which has exceeded fifteen million sales since the launch of its first generation in 1990, remains the Renault group model the most sold in France and the second most sold model in Europe.
- Although it has a very similar silhouette to the previous generation, the Clio V adopts a new body that is a little shorter (4.05m) and a little lower (1.42m), designed on a new platform, called CMF-B.
- This new platform means that for the first time the new Clio will be equipped with a hybrid engine (which will be launched in 2020). However, unlike the future Peugeot 208, its main competitor, the new Clio will not be available in a 100% electric version. Hybrid engines are not the optimal solution to reduce fuel consumption and emissions, especially at a time when most European and Chinese manufacturers are preparing electric cars in all segments. However, hybrid engines are an alternative to diesel engines, which are less and less popular on the European market. In addition, Renault is already present in the B segment of 100% electric vehicles with the Zoé.
- The new Renault Clio should be produced mainly in Bursa (Turkey) and Novo Mesto (Slovenia). Inovev expects production volume of 400,000 Clio V units per year.
