Renault Korea, 6,099 Units Sold in February... 11.3% Decrease Year-on-Year

Reinforcement Work on New Equipment at Busan Plant

Renault Korea announced on the 4th that it achieved sales of 6,099 units last month. This is a decrease of 11.3% compared to the same period last year.

Renault Korea explained that this was due to a reduction in production volume caused by reinforcement work on production facilities at the Busan plant. The Busan plant halted production lines for about five weeks from December 31 last year to February 2 this year to convert into an electric vehicle production base, updating a total of 68 pieces of equipment.

After trial operation of the new equipment, production resumed on February 10, enabling the plant to produce internal combustion engine vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and pure electric vehicles on a single mixed production line.

In the domestic market, the mid-size SUV Grand Koleos led sales with 4,106 units sold. Among these, the 'Grand Koleos E-Tech Hybrid' accounted for about 90%, with 3,655 units.

The SUV QM6 sold 454 units. This was followed by the coupe-style SUV Arkana with 260 units, the mid-size sedan SM6 with 36 units, and the commercial vehicle Master Van with 25 units.

Renault Korea prioritized production volume at the Busan plant for the Grand Koleos aimed at domestic consumers, while export shipment schedules were adjusted, resulting in exports totaling 1,218 units, including 1,029 Arkana and 188 QM6 units.
