Renault Korea's sales volume in February slightly decreased compared to the same month last year. While export volume increased during the period, domestic sales were somewhat sluggish.

On the 4th, Renault Korea announced that it sold a total of 6,877 units last month, a 3.8% decrease compared to the same month last year.

Export volume was 5,070 units, up 2.8% from the same month last year. This is more than 20 times the 226 units exported in the previous month, when exports sharply declined due to logistics difficulties caused by the Red Sea incident. It appears that exports recovered as vehicles that had difficulty being shipped last month due to scheduling issues with shipping companies were loaded.
