Boulogne-Billancourt, 07/20/2020
With the Covid-19 pandemic context, Groupe
Renault suspended sales and industrial activities in most countries
from mid-March and saw its sales fall 34.9% to 1,256,658 units in
the first half, in a market down 28.3%. The Group's sales volume
decline was mainly due to its high exposure to countries that have
undergone a strict lockdown.
« The world is going through an unprecedented
crisis with a major impact on our business. As soon as the recovery
began, our plants and sales network quickly mobilized to meet our
customers' needs, with demand sustained in June by government aid
measures in Europe. We are starting the second half of the year
with a very high level of orders, a satisfactory level of
inventory, a rising price positioning across the entire range, and
a new E-TECH Hybrid offer that is unique in its segment and already
very well received » said Denis le Vot, member of
the Executive Committee, Senior Vice President Sales and Regions of
Groupe Renault.
Electric vehicle: ZOE leader in a
growing marketThe sales volumes of the Renault brand
worldwide rose by 38%, with more than 42,000 vehicles sold in the
first half.In Europe, ZOE is the best-selling car
with a sales growth close to 50% to 37,540 units and reached a
record level of orders in June with nearly 11,000 orders. The
electric offensive with the arrival of Twingo Z.E. and the launch
of E-TECH Hybrid engines (New Clio Hybrid, New Captur Plug-In
Hybrid and New Megane Estate Plug-In Hybrid), have strengthened the
Group's trajectory towards achieving its CAFE objectives for
2020.
In EuropeThe sales of the Group
amounted to 623,854 vehicles, down 41.8% in a market that was down
38.9%. The Group successfully renewed all its B-segment models

New Clio was the best-selling vehicle within the
B-segment in Europe in the first half, with 102,949 units
sold.In the first half of the year, the Dacia
brand recorded a 48.1% decline in sales to 161,334 vehicles sold,
impacted by its exposure to the retail market strongly affected by
the Covid-19 crisis.
In June, Group sales in Europe
picked up with Renault and Dacia achieving respectively 10.5%

benefiting fully from customers' return to the sales network taking

diesel.
