Renault aims to produce 400 000 cars in Iran in 2020
- The Renault group has had less presence on the Iranian market than the PSA group. It is mainly as of 2007, with the arrival of the Logan (Tondar) on the Iranian assembly lines, that the Renault group really increased its presence in the country. From 15,000 units produced in 2007, production gradually reached 95,000 units in 2012, a figure that was lower than that of the PSA group at the same time.
- However, Tondar production continued at a slower pace in the years 2013-2015 (40,000 units per year) whereas PSA was forced to cease production during this period.
- In early 2016, to expand its range, Renault started production of the Sandero in Iran. Renault's production in the country then surpassed 100,000 units/year for the first time, to reach a volume of 108,000 cars. PSA, which had restarted production in Iran in 2016, reached a volume of 233,000 units produced in the country, double the volume of Renault.
- Renault is counting on the arrival of the Duster and Kwid on the Iranian assembly lines to exceed 200,000 units in 2018 and 400,000 per year in 2020, thus approaching the PSA group (20% market share against 26% for the PSA group at that time). Inovev predicts 330,000 units produced in 2020 (see graph).
