Renault sales lower than last year Urgent need to strengthen cooperation with Nissan 4:18 on January 18

Renault in France announced that sales in the Middle East and China have fallen by 3% since last year, and sales in the world have fallen by more than 3%. The imminent situation is once again highlighted.

Renault announced on March 17 that global sales in the past year were 3.75 million units, down 3.4% from the previous year.

Europe, which accounts for half of sales, grew by more than 1%, but withdrawal from Iran, which was sanctioned by the U.S., reduced sales in the Middle East and Africa by more than 19%, and 17% in China where the market shrank. The decline was too small, and the result was lower than the previous year on a global basis.

Renault and Nissan, who form the alliance, have faced conflicts as former leader Ghosn left, and have been unable to produce new results through cooperation.

In this situation, the rival group is promoting cooperation with different industries and introducing next-generation technology, and in terms of sales, Volkswagen of Germany has continued to grow steadily, setting a record high in global sales last year You.

Renault wants to swiftly come up with concrete measures to cooperate with Nissan, which will form an alliance to keep up with the competition, and it is a major issue whether it can lead to a rebuilding of business results.
