French auto giant Renault said Thursday that global sales stalled in the first six months of the year, held back by weaker Dacia sales in Europe. \u00a0 <\/p>\n

Renault said in a statement that it sold just under 1.2 million vehicles in the period from January to June, 0.4 percent fewer than in the first six months of 2025.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

In Europe, its main market, sales fell by 1.3 percent to 821,092 new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. <\/p>\n

And while the Renault brand, the number two player in Europe, posted a 2.6 percent increase year-on-year to 528,849 units, sales of Dacia brand slumped by 8.7 percent to 284,021 vehicles, the statement said. <\/p>\n

Renault has embarked on a massive electrification drive.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

It said that 52 percent of its passenger car sales in Europe are now electrified vehicles — fully electric, plug-in hybrids and non-plug-in hybrids — up from 43.8 percent in the first half of 2025.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Two-thirds, or 66.3 percent, of Renault brand cars are electrified, up from 59 percent a year ago. \u00a0 <\/p>\n

For the Dacia brand, the proportion rose to 30.8 percent from 23.6 percent. <\/p>\n

Renault said that outside Europe it continued to “strengthen its positions in its strategic markets.” <\/p>\n

In India, sales rose by 61.2 percent in the first half, in Turkey by 15.4 percent, in Morocco by 13.7 percent and in Brazil by 5.3 percent.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
