Commenting, Bernard Cambier said: “ We are particularly satisfied with the Renault group’s performance in June, which enables us to close the first half with sales practically at last year’s level. However, we are concerned about the level of the market – with PC sales down 14% – confirmed by very low orders in the last two months.”
