Captur

The Renault Group recorded over 2,000 registrations and a 9.5 percent market share for the month of July, the first month of the new 142 registration plate, writes Trish Whelan.

Renault's RCI bank lent €10 million to Renault and Dacia individual and business customers, a record for July for the bank since it launched here almost three years ago.

Year to date, the Renault Group is at 8 percent market share putting it in 5th position overall.

Its passenger car sales are up 153 percent at 6.1 percent market share with Clio performing well at number three in its segment. Captur is at number one in its class and Fluence at number three in its grouping.

Dacia, which launched here in January 2013, now has a 2.8 percent market share with Duster number three in its class in July.

Sales of Light Commercial Vehicles increased in July by 97 percent and by 46 percent year to date compared to 2013. The company will introduce the new Traffic and Master LCVs later this year.
