Renault Group (Euronext: RNO) posted a revenue increase today of €9.8 billion, up 20.5% compared to 2021 Q3. Automotive revenue reached €9 billion, up 21.7%1 based on global sales of 481,000 vehicles, down 2.4% compared to 2021 Q3. The E-tech range (electric and hybrid) accounted for 38% of Renault passenger car sales in Europe during the first 9 months, up 12 points compared to the first 9 months of 2021.

The Group’s orders in Europe remains at an historic level – the same in volume compared to the end of June. Renault Group also confirmed its 2022 financial outlook*, which will probably meet with analyst skepticism given the ongoing economic crisis in Europe and the negative global effects of Putin’s war against Ukraine. Balancing this is a renegotiation of the Alliance with Nissan, which could bring Renault ~$3.3 billion if it cuts it stake to 15% from 43%.
