Inovev expects 70 000 annual sales for the new Ford Ecosport
- The Ecosport is Ford’s current B segment SUV. It dates from 2014 and the vehicles sold in Europe so far have come from the Ford factory in Chennai. This will change from the end of this year as the Ecosports sold in Europe will come from Ford's Romanian factory in Craiova.
- At this time, , the Ecosport will restyled, adopting a grille inspired by that of the Kuga and receiving a two-tone painting, which is very fashionable on B segment SUVs (Renault Captur, Citroën C3 Aircross, Opel Crossland, Seat Arona ).
- This restyled version of the Ecosport was presented at the Frankfurt 2017 show. This model competes with all the segment B SUVs, such as Renault Captur, Peugeot 2008, Citroën C3 Aircross, Opel Crossland, Opel Mokka, Fiat 500 X, Seat Arona as well as the two Korean SUVs that will be marketed from the end of the year, Hyundai Kona and Kia Stonic.
- Inovev estimates that the Ford Ecosport could be produced at 70,000 units per year at the Craiova site. Over the first 8 months of 2017, this model was sold at 43,000 units in Europe, which is equivalent to a volume of 60,000 units per year. The restyling and transfer to a European site, as well as the continued growth of sales of SUVs on the European continent, should make it possible to achieve a higher volume of sales than today. So, like Meriva at Opel, the Ford B segment MPV (B-Max) that is produced today in Craiova seems seriously threatened.

GM targets 500 000 EV sales in China in 2025
- The GM group is very active in the Chinese market, which represents 40% of its global sales (compared with 30% for the USA) and has become its first market. GM is second in China (16% market share in the first 8 months of 2017), behind the Volkswagen group (17% market share in the first 8 months of 2017).
- GM has five brands in China: Buick (5.0% SOM), Wuling (3.9% SOM), Baojun (3.7% SOM), Chevrolet (2.2% SOM) and Cadillac 0.7% SOM). Of these five brands, two are strong (Cadillac + 88% and Baojun + 32%), two are stable (Buick and Chevrolet) and one is significantly down (Wuling -18.5%).
- GM's strategy in China is now to develop a whole range of electric vehicles to sell locally, thus meeting the Chinese government's demand to promote the massive development of electric vehicles in all manufacturers producing in China.
- In this perspective, GM, in partnership with SAIC, which manufactures GM vehicles in China, will design and launch several electric and hybrid rechargeable vehicles over the period 2020-2025.
- The goal of GM is to sell 150,000 vehicles of this type in 2020 and 500,000 in 2025. The VW Group, meanwhile, aims to sell 400,000 vehicles of this type in 2020 and 1,500,000 in 2025.

Inovev expects 85 000 annual sales for the Porsche Cayenne
- Porsche (a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group) unveiled the new generation E segment SUV, the Cayenne (the previous one was in 2010) based on the MLB platform (the previous one used the PL71 platform) which will be shared with the future Volkswagen Touareg and Lamborghini Urus, which was inaugurated on the Audi Q7 in 2015 and on the Bentley Bentayga in 2016. The new generation of the Porsche Cayenne retains the style of the older generation, to capitalize on the success of a model that has sold more than 500,000 copies in seven years (more than 70,000 a year), which allowed Porsche to establish a strong presence in the SUV category, starting with the first generation of the Cayenne in 2002.
- The Cayenne has made it possible to diversify the product range of the Porsche brand and to significantly increase sales. The Cayenne currently accounts for one-third of the brand's sales, after having accounted for almost half of it, just before the launch of the D-segment SUV, the Macan, which logically took some of its customers.
- The new generation of the Cayenne will be manufactured on the Porsche site in Leipzig, as was the previous generation. Inovev projects a production volume of between 80,000 and 85,000 units per year of this new generation.
- The new Cayenne should be equipped with the V6 3.0 gasoline and 3.0 diesel engines, but no longer with V8 engines . On the other hand, a plug-in hybrid model should be launched next year.

Inovev expects 350 000 to 400 000 annual sales for the new Duster
- Dacia (subsidiary of the Renault group) unveiled the second generation of its SUV Duster (the previous one was in 2010). The manufacturer has capitalized on the success of the first generation , making few changes in the characteristic style of the Duster.
- The Duster has sold more than two million copies in seven years, or nearly 300,000 units a year, making it one of the most sold models of the Renault group for a decade. The Duster was marketed under both Renault and Dacia brands. Half was sold under the Dacia brand for European markets and the other half under the Renault brand for the Russian, Ukrainian, Indian and South American markets.
- Production has been carried out so far on five sites that will continue to function in the same way for the new generation of Duster: Pitesti (Romania), Moscow (Russia), Chennai (India), Curitiba (Brazil) and Envigado (Columbia). Each production site will continue to supply local markets.
-The new Duster is built on the same platform as the old one (it is the Clio II platform) using the same engines, namely the 1.2-petrol 125ch and the 1.5 diesel 110hp. The former 1.6 petrol of 115hp would be removed. The new Duster is still without any real competitors, since it remains much cheaper than the segment C SUVs to which it could be compared. Inovev expects a volume of 350,000 to 400,000 sales per year of the new Duster.
