Renault brand – Rolling out the futuREady strategy by combining growth, electrification, and value creation

In the first semester of 2026, Renault brand sold 829,518 vehicles worldwide, up 2.6% compared with the first half of 2025, extending its continuous growth momentum for a fourth consecutive year. This performance is driven by a balanced contribution from both Europe and international markets, with a notable acceleration in Northern European countries^[7], where Renault increased sales by 14.0% in a market that grew by 6.0%. It is underpinned by the priorities of the futuREady strategy: accelerating electrification, pursuing a value-driven commercial policy, and deploying the brand's international roadmap.

Two out of three PC Renault vehicles sold in Europe are now electrified (66.3%), up 7.2 points year-on-year. Supported by an attractive product line-up, the brand confirms the relevance of its strategy based on two complementary technologies - EV and HEV - and is making progress towards its ambition of reaching 100% electrified sales in Europe by 2030. Renault ranks No. 2 in the European battery electric vehicle (BEV) retail market and No. 2 in the hybrid market. BEV sales increased by 63.2% in a market up 34.2%, driven notably by the success of Renault 5 E-Tech electric, the best-selling B-segment electric vehicle in Europe, while Renault 4 E-Tech electric is establishing itself as the benchmark in the retail electric B-SUV segment.

Renault is also continuing its value creation strategy by prioritizing sales quality and protecting residual values. In Europe^[8], the brand gained 0.4 points of market share in the retail channel while reducing its exposure to short-term rentals. In France, Renault strengthened its leadership, reaching an 18.5% retail market share (+1.6 points) and 20.9% in the fleet market (+0.3 points). C- and D-segment vehicles accounted for 37.4% of European sales, contributing to the continued improvement of the product mix.

As part of this strategy, light commercial vehicles are also strengthening the brand's commercial performance and profitability. Renault recorded a second consecutive semester of LCV sales growth in Europe, up 11.7% in a market up 2.1%, further consolidating its position as No. 2 brand in Europe. Since the beginning of the year, thanks to its comprehensive product offering and the success of the “converted by Renault” solution, Renault Master[9] has been No. 1 in the large van market in Europe. Internationally, sales were driven by Türkiye (+9.8%) and by the expansion of Renault Master, particularly in Morocco.

The brand continues to strengthen its international footprint and reinforce its position as a global brand across its strategic markets. Sales outside Europe increased by 2.8%, reaching nearly 296,000 vehicles. This growth was driven by strong performances in India (+61.2%), Türkiye (+25.7%), Morocco (+11.8%), Brazil (+5.3%) and Mexico (+16.3%). This momentum is expected to continue in the coming months, supported by the ramp-up of Renault Duster in India, the recent launch of Koleos Full Hybrid in Brazil, and the accelerated rollout of Boreal, backed by the opening of a second production site in Türkiye in June.

Building on these strong fundamentals in the fast-growing electric and hybrid segments, Renault is entering the second semester with confidence. In Europe, the electrification momentum will continue to accelerate with the recent launches of Twingo E-Tech electric and Renault 4 E-Tech electric with its Plein Sud version, as well as the opening of orders before year-end for Trafic Van E-Tech electric, set to be a game changer in the LCV market. Outside Europe, the unveiling of the future Niagara pick-up in September will support Renault's growth in Latin America. These launches will open up new growth opportunities, in line with the ambitions of futuREady.

Dacia brand – Strong business model and solid fundamentals

In the first half of 2026, against a backdrop of strong growth in electric vehicle sales and the increasing presence of Chinese brands in Europe, Dacia confirmed the strength of its business model and fundamentals. In the second quarter, the brand recorded 181,729 registrations, a level scarcely unchanged from the second quarter of 2025 (-0.3%). Over the first half, Dacia posted 327,077 sales, down 8.1% compared with the first half of 2025. In Europe, the brand achieved a 3.9% passenger car market share. As of the end of June, the order book remained in line with 2025, demonstrating the brand's strong commercial resilience ahead of the second semester.

Dacia continues to rely on strong fundamentals: Dacia Sandero remains the best-selling car in Europe across all sales channels, and the brand ranks No.3 in the PC European retail car market. Its business model is also built on a predominantly retail sales mix of 77%^[10], a disciplined net pricing strategy, and residual values 13 points above the market average.

Electrification continues to gain momentum, with hybrid powertrains accounting for a growing share of orders, representing 37% for Jogger, 40% for Duster and 68% for Bigster. In addition, 58% of the line-up's orders are for higher trim levels, a proportion that rises to 71% for Duster and 82% for Bigster, illustrating the brand's ability to enhance its product mix while remaining true to its positioning based on the best value for money.

The second semester will be marked by the intensification of Dacia's electrified offering, with the introduction of Sandero hybrid, followed by the market launch of Striker and the launch of the next-generation Spring, produced in Europe. These new models will further enrich the brand's lineup and support its transformation, enabling it to respond with agility to evolving market trends.

Alpine brand – A record first semester

Alpine delivered a record first-half performance, with 8,538 vehicles sold worldwide, representing growth of 69.1% year-on-year. Brand sales were driven by the success of the brand's best-seller Alpine A290 hot hatch, with sales increasing by nearly 60% compared with the first half of 2025, reaching 5,890 units. The Alpine A110 sport car coupé also maintained strong momentum, with 1,607 units sold (+22.4%), despite production ending in June to prepare for the arrival of its third-generation. Meanwhile, Alpine entered a new market segment with the launch of the Alpine A390 sport fastback, recording its first 1,041 registrations of the GT version, while orders are now open for the GTS.

Outside France, Alpine's growth accelerated significantly, notably in the United Kingdom, where sales increased sixfold to reach 1,902 units. Strong progression was also recorded in Spain (+84%) and Germany (+78%), confirming the brand's growing appeal across key European markets.

These achievements, supported by the rapid expansion of its international retail network, from 169 to 238 points of sales, underline the accelerating momentum of Alpine's global development. They reinforce the brand's ambition to become a leading premium electric performance brand while successfully broadening its customer base and presence in new market segments.
