Commenting, Bernard Cambier , Senior Vice President, Market Area France, said: “ We are very satisfied with our sales performance in 2013, which enables the Renault group to lessen the impact of the fall in the French market. The performance, in line with our forecasts, was driven by the success of our new models (Clio and Captur), and also by the robust cornerstone formed by older models (Twingo, Scénic and Mégane) and the growth achieved by Dacia, now the number-five brand in France. We also performed strongly in the light commercial market, with the Renault group accounting for one out of every three LCV sales.
These strong results give us confidence for 2014, in which we intend to continue our growth.”
