(CercleFinance.com) - Cumulative sales of Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors rose 6.5% last year compared to 2016, reaching 10,608,366 vehicles, we learned this Tuesday late morning.
Consequently, the Alliance's brands represented nearly one out of every nine vehicles sold in the world in 2017 (passenger cars and light trucks), the carmaker said, which imputes this growth to rising demand for SUVs, light commercial vehicles and 100% electric vehicles.
Regarding electric vehicles, Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi has also maintained its leading position, with 540,623 'ZE' ('zero emission') vehicles sold since 2010.
