Quote from Bernard Cambier , Executive Vice President Sales & Marketing, France

“ Having gained 1.7 points of market share (passenger cars + LCV), our sales performance for the first eight months of the year has been remarkable despite a difficult market conjuncture. This success is the result of our new products and the skills of the Renault and Dacia networks. I can therefore hand things over to Philippe Buros today with confidence. ”
