PARIS (Reuters) – French automaker Renault said on Thursday its first-half sales volume rose 1.9% compared to the same period a year earlier due to strong performance in Europe, its key region.
The company sold 1,154,700 vehicles globally, compared to 1,133,478 units last year, with almost three-quarters of that volume going to Europe.
It said sales in Europe grew 6.7%, outpacing market growth of 5.5%.
