Bernard Cambier, Renault’s sales director for France, said in a statement that the performance in September was a good sign of what will happen in the coming months.
According to official data, the French market declined 1.4% in September from a year earlier, and sales of light trucks fell 6.6%.
Car registrations in the country were boosted in the early months of this year by a flurry of orders in late 2010 as buyers rushed to take advantage of incentives that were phased out at year-end. As car makers expected, the market lost momentum in the second and third quarters.
