Renault will produce a C segment electric car in Douai as of 2021

- While Mercedes has recently announced that it will produce in France (on the Smart site  in Hambach) a 100% C segment electric car (probably the EQ-A), Renault has announced in turn the production of a new 100% electric car on the Douai site, alongside the Renault Scénic, Espace and Talisman. As at  Mercedes, the future 100% electric car manufactured in Douai will be C segment like the  former Fluence ZE that was produced from 2011 to 2014 in Turkey.

- For now, the name of this future car to be launched in 2021 has not been released, but we already know that it will utilise the new electric platform recently announced by Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi. We also know that it will be marketed under both Renault and Nissan brands .

- As for the Renault Zoe, it will continue its commercial career in the B segment. Its production capacity in Flins will also be doubled, from 60,000 to 120,000 units per year by 2022. Last year, 30,000 Zoé were made in Flins, and the model could be renewed soon.

- Renault will also triple the production capacity of electric motors at the Cléon site (Seine-Maritime), from 80,000 to 240,000 engines per year by 2022. Finally, the Maubeuge site will host the manufacture of the future Electric Kangoo, the Sandouville site, the Electric Trafic, and the Batilly site, the Electric Master.

The evolution of vehicle imports in China

- The volume of car imports in China increased significantly between 2005 and 2014, from less than 200,000 to more than 1,200,000 units per year during this period. It then dropped to 1 050 000 units in 2016 and increased to 1 130 000 units in 2017. The level of taxes on imported cars generally defines the volume of imports. The evolution of imports over the next two to three years in China will depend on the increase or decrease of taxes on imported cars (we are talking about notably an increase in taxes on cars imported from the USA).

- By manufacturer, BMW and Mercedes remain the two largest importers of cars in China, although they are producing more and more in this country for local demand. In 2017, they imported almost 180,000 cars each, nearly one-third of all car imports in China.

- Premium brands are the main importers in China, since behind BMW and Mercedes, there is the presence of Lexus (130,000 units), Porsche (70,000 units), Land Rover (56,000 units), Lincoln (53,000 units), Audi (52,000 units), Mini (33,000 units), Volvo (23,000 units), Jaguar (23,000 units) or Infiniti (20,000 units).

- In total, Premium brands account for nearly 80% of imports into China, proof that luxury models are not yet widespread in Chinese auto production.

The 2017 European market by segment and body type (1)

- The European passenger car market accounted for 15,498,183 units in 2017 (compared to 15,005,318 units in 2016).

- How does this volume break down by segment? C-segment cars remain largely in the lead in the European market (38% of the European market in 2017), ahead of B-segment cars (32%), D-segment cars (14%), segment A cars (8% ), E segment cars (7%), F segment cars (1%).

- Two segments where the market share has declined over the last twenty years, are the D and E segments. The others have increased their market share (C, B) or remained stable (A, F).

- As for the breakdown by body type, sedans remain in majority on the European market, but their market share has fallen sharply over the past twelve years, from 76% in 2005 to 59% in 2017. This fall in the market share of sedans was driven by strong growth in SUV sales (30% of market share in 2017, compared with only 5% in 2005).

- Minivans (MPV) were also hit hard by the growth of SUV sales, with their market share decreasing from 15% in 2005 to 7% in 2017. The share of microvans and coupé-cabriolets has remained stable.

The Hyundai-Kia group is interested in the FCA group

- Some rumors indicate the interest of the Hyundai-Kia Group in the Fiat-Chrysler Group. The Korean manufacturer would wait for the departure of Sergio Marchionne in 2019 to launch an offer to buy the Italian-American manufacturer. Inovev reveals what these two manufacturers would gain by such an association.

- The Hyundai-Kia Group, with no external growth to date is having some difficulties remaining in the leading pack of manufacturers (Volkswagen, Renault-Nissan, Toyota, GM), its sales volume having dropped from 8, 02 million units in 2015 to 7.26 million units in 2017. The FCA group has stagnated for several years (4.74 million units in 2017). Together, the two groups would become the world's largest manufacturer, with a total of 12 million vehicles per year.

- Geographically: The Hyundai-Kia group sells mainly in North America, Korea, China, Europe and India. The FCA Group sells mainly in North America, Europe and South America. There is some complementarity at the geographical level. The new group would become number 1 in North America and number 2 in Europe.

- In terms of model range,  the Hyundai-Kia group does not have a pick-up, unlike the FCA group. The FCA group has strong or premium brands, such as Jeep, Dodge-Ram, Alfa-Romeo or Maserati, while the Hyundai-Kia group has two general brands and a marginal premium brand (Genesis).
