Europe region (incl. France): Group PC + LCV sales rose by 21.6% in a market that expanded by 1.5% for market share of 10.8%, an increase of 1.8 points.

In a PC market that expanded by 0.9%, the Renault group increased sales by 21.7%, taking its market share to 10.2% (+1.8 points). The Renault brand ranks second in Western Europe, thanks primarily to the success of the Megane family and Clio. The Dacia brand reported a 27% rise in sales (116,096 units) in Western Europe for market share of 1.6% (+0.3 points).

With the scrappage bonus coming to an end in most countries, the mix of models sold is expanding. Total Renault sales in the economy/low-range segments were down 4.9% on 2009, while sales in the lower mid-range segment rose by 15.8%.

In an LCV market that expanded by 7.7%, the Renault group increased sales by 21.0%, taking its market share to 16.6% (+1.8 points). In Western Europe, the Renault brand remains No. 1, with market share of 15.7%. With its range of LCV models complementing the Renault offering, the Dacia brand increased its market share by 0.3 points, with a 70.0% surge in sales.

PC + LCV

In Europe, the Renault group had market share of 10.8% with a 21.6% rise in sales. Renault increased market share by 1.4 points to 9.2%, with 765,683 units sold. Dacia remained on a growth track, with sales of 131,598 vehicles, an increase of 29.2%.

! In France: the Group boosted market share by 3.3 points to 28.5%, with a 20.0% increase in sales (407,125 units). The Renault brand consolidated its position as leader, with 342,838 units sold, a rise of 9.5%. Dacia sales surged by 148%, with 64,287 units sold for market share of 4.5%, an increase of 2.6 points. Dacia sold as many vehicles in the first half of 2010 as in the whole of 2009. It has thus become France's sixth-ranking brand, and even No. 4 for consumer sales (non-fleet customers, rental/contract-hire firms and demonstration vehicles).

The Group also reported sales increases in its 15 main markets: Italy (+53.6%), Spain (+42.6%), the UK (+107.3%), Belgium/Luxembourg (+33.2%), and the Netherlands (+54.4%). In Germany, the fall in sales reflected that of the market (-31.9%), owing primarily to the end of the scrappage bonus.

Market outlook for second-half 2010

The second half of the year should see a divergence in trends between Europe and the rest of the world. In Europe, the market is expected to continue the fall that began in April with the end of the scrappage bonuses and the reinforcement of austerity plans in several countries. Countries outside Europe are expected to continue growing, the main reason being more favourable economic fundamentals.

The Group expects the global market to expand by around 8% in 2010 compared with 2009, despite a fall in the European market that is estimated at between 7% and 9% on last year.

Jerome Stoll, Executive Vice-President of Sales and Marketing and Light Commercial Vehicles, commented: "Our objective for 2010 is to continue building market share for all our brands in all Renault Group regions. In Europe, we will consolidate the market share that we have reclaimed with the Renault brand to confirm our No. 3 position in PC sales, and the leadership of the Renault brand in LCV sales. Outside Europe, we will continue our offensive by stepping up our presence in emerging countries, which will drive growth in the years to come."
