Share of xEVs in heavy truck sales in Europe

Details
Share of xEVs in heavy truck sales in Europe
- While the market share in Europe for electrified passenger cars (PCs), or xEVs (BEV + HEV + PHEV), reached 15.3% of the total market in 2020, broken down into 6.2% for BEVs, 5,2% for PHEVs and 3.9% for HEVs, the share of these alternative engines is completely different for heavy goods vehicles (HUV).

- In 2020, the share of xEVs in the heavy trucks market did not exceed 0.5%, divided into 0.4% BEV and 0.1% HEV-PHEV, while 2.9% of engines ran on natural gas. This proportion of electrified engines in the heavy goods vehicle category is the lowest among all vehicles (passenger cars, LUVs, heavy trucks, coaches and buses). In 2019, the share of electrified engines + natural gas had not reached 3%.

- The diesel engine still represents the vast majority of engines equipping heavy trucks, reaching 96.5% of the market share in 2020. The gasoline engine remains extremely marginal as it does not exceed 0.1% of the market share.

- Compared to 2019, the number of BEVs (1,240 units) increased by 60.8%, HEV-PHEVs (159 units) by 40.4%, while the number of diesel (274,558 units) decreased by 26,6% but remains predominant, gasoline engines (213 units) declined 12.3%, while natural gas engines (7,239 units) decreased by 5.1%. The European heavy trucks market represented 283,409 units in 2020 against 382,418 units in 2019.

In 2021, the BEVs market share in Europe gets close to the Chinese one

Details
In 2021, the BEVs market share in Europe gets close to the Chinese one
- The two graphs below represent the monthly sales volume of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in Europe and China from January 2018 to June 2021. The left graph represents the sales volume and the right graph represents the market share BEVs in the country's overall market.

- The sales volume of BEVs in China has always been higher than the sales volume of BEVs in Europe, except in February 2020 which was a month of lock down in China, due to the coronavirus crisis. The gap between the two markets has reduced, however, although in 2021 there are still twice as many BEVs sold in China as in Europe.

- In 2018, the average sales of BEVs in China was 64,000 units per month, compared to 17,000 in Europe. In 2019, it was 68,000 units per month in China, compared to 30,000 in Europe. In 2020, it was 80,000 units per month in China, compared to 62,000 in Europe. Finally, in 2021, it is 154,000 in China, against 82,000 in Europe.

- If we look at the market share of BEVs, it went from 3.2% in 2018 in China to 3.8% in 2019, 4.7% in 2020 and 9.3% in 2021. The 2021 year marks a clear acceleration in BEVs sales, pushed in particular by the arrival of Tesla in China and the small WulingHongguang Mini EV, which is very successful in this market. In Europe, the market share of BEVs increased from 1.3% in 2018 to 2.3% in 2019, 6.2% in 2020 and 7.7% in 2021. By way of comparison, the market share of BEVs in the USA evolve much more slowly, with 2.3% in 2021 against 2.0% in 2020, 1.5% in 2019 and 1.4% in 2018.

It sells one and a half times more HEVs in Europe than in China

Details
It sells one and a half times more HEVs in Europe than in China
- The two graphs below represent the monthly sales volume of non-plug-in hybrid cars (HEVs) in Europe and China from January 2018 to June 2021. For Europe, Inovev analysed the sales of full hybrid vehicles (HEVs) out of 21 main European markets, including UK, Switzerland and Norway. Inovev based this analysis on its own collected data, unlike the analyses of BEVs and PHEVs, carried out using data provided by ACEA. Indeed, on the sales of HEVs, the ACEA includes models equipped with mild-hybrid technology (or 48V), which has the effect of "inflating" the sales volumes of HEVs. However, for Inovev, the technology of mild-hybrids and full-hybrids cannot be put at the same level. For China, Inovev uses the same scope as Europe.

- The sales volume of HEVs in China has always been much lower than the sales volume of HEVs in Europe. Even today, in terms of market share, there are one and a half times more HEVs sold in Europe than in China. However, fewer HEVs are sold in both Europe and China than PHEVs or BEVs.

- In 2018, the average sales level of HEVs in China was 16,000 units per month, compared to 35,000 in Europe. In 2019, it was 16,000 units per month in China, compared to 40,000 in Europe. In 2020, it was 20,000 units per month in China, compared to 39,000 in Europe. Finally, in 2021, it is 36,000 in China, against 51,000 in Europe.

- If we look at the market share of HEVs, it went from 0.8% in 2018 in China to 0.9% in 2019, 1.2% in 2020 and 2.2% in 2021. In Europe, the HEV market share increased from 2.7% in 2018 to 3.1% in 2019, 3.9% in 2020 and 4.9% in 2021. By way of comparison, the HEV market share in the USA is 3.5% in 2021 against 3.2% in 2020, 2.4% in 2019 and 1.9% in 2018.

- In total, xEVs (BEVs + PHEVs + HEVs) represent 13.5% of the Chinese market in the first half of 2021, 21.1% of the European market and 6.5% of the US market. In Europe, the world's largest diesel market, xEVs have mostly taken market share to diesels, while in China and the USA, markets with very little number of diesel passenger cars, they are in competition with pure gasoline engine.

Europe buys three times more PHEVs than China

Details
Europe buys three times more PHEVs than China
- The two graphs below represent the monthly sales volume of plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) in Europe and China from January 2018 to June 2021. The left graph represents the sales volume and the right graph represents the market share of PHEVs in the country's overall market.

- The sales volume of PHEVs in China was higher than the sales volume of PHEVs in Europe until the fall of 2019. Then the sales of PHEVs took off in Europe and these sales became progressively much higher than those recorded in China. The penalty system on thermal engines that emit high level of CO2 has contributed to the success of PHEVs in Europe.

- In 2018, the average sales of PHEVs in China was 22,000 units per month, compared to 15,000 in Europe. In 2019, it had fallen to 19,000 units per month in China, compared to 17,000 in Europe. In 2020, it was 20,000 units per month in China, against 52,000 in Europe which largely supplants China from then on. Finally, in 2021, it is 33,000 in China, compared to 90,000 in Europe, which now buys three times more PHEVs than China.

- If we look at the market share of PHEVs, it went from 1.1% in 2018 in China to 1% in 2019, 1.2% in 2020 and 2% in 2021. In Europe, the market share of PHEVs increased from 1% in 2018 to 1.3% in 2019, 5.2% in 2020 and 8.5% in 2021. By way of comparison, the market share of PHEVs in the USA is 0.7% in 2021 against 0.5% in 2020, 0.4% in 2019 and 0.7% in 2018. This market is not taking off in the USA, which does not have a diesel market for its passenger cars, unlike Europe which is progressively replacing  this engines type with PHEVs.

Renault sales increased by 18.7% in 2021, but remain down compared to 2019

Details
Renault sales increased by 18.7% in 2021, but remain down compared to 2019
- Global sales of light vehicles (passenger and utility) of the Renault group (Renault, Alpine, Dacia, Samsung, Lada, Jinbei-Huasong) increased by 18.7% in the first half of 2021, compared to the first half of 2020, but decreased by 24.2% compared to the first half of 2019, which was already down 6.7% compared to the first half of 2018.

- Totally, the Renault group's worldwide sales did not exceed 1,422,600 units in the first half of 2021, which represents a loss of 516,000 units compared to the first half of 2019. The carmaker indicates (like others) that its the objective is no longer volume at all costs but profitability.

- In the first half of 2021, the group's largest market remains France (287,602 units; 24.7% of the French market sales) ahead of Russia (270,285 units; 31% market share). In this market, it is above all the Lada brand that is present, but the Renault brand alone represents a quarter of the group's sales in Russia (Dacia is not sold there). Germany (87,029 units; 5.7% market share) and Italy (82,951 units; 8.5% market share) follow. Brazil (69,465 units; 6.9% market share) is Renault's fifth market, ahead of Spain (59,874 units; 11% market share) and Turkey (58,631 units; 15% market share).

- Renault is therefore very present in Southern Europe (France, Italy, Spain) and in Germany, but the results in the rest of Europe are more inconstant. In Europe overall, Renault sold 746,000 vehicles in the first half of 2021, representing a market share of 9.8% against 11% in 2019. The group's best-selling cars are the Renault Clio, Dacia Duster and Dacia Sandero.
