Renault-Dacia edges ahead of Peugeot-Citroen in June's European car sales race

摘要

Acea's provisional West European car sales reveal that this June, if not for the first half, hard-pushing Renault Group (Renault-Dacia) has nudged aside Peugeot-Citroen as West Europe's second biggest seller of cars While Renault-Dacia comfortably outpaced June's 5.8 per cent car sales rate, with sales soaring 18.4 per cent during the month, Peugeot-Citroen appears to have sat back and watched while some desperate mass-market rivals are frantically bashing each other over the heads with profit-draining financial sales incentives. PSA's June sales in Western Europe, reflecting to an extent the company's widely applauded goal to protect its profit margins, rather than chasing unprofitable sales, remained largely unchanged.
