Renault Samsung’s exports boosted by SUVs
[THE INVESTOR] Sport utility vehicles accounted for 94 percent of Renault Samsung Motors’ exports so far this year, the company said on May 11.
Of 53,904 units shipped by the carmaker in the January-April period, 94.1 percent, or 50,791 units, were SUVs, the company said. The Nissan Rogue accounted for 72.3 percent of the exports and the QM6 for 21.9 percent.
Officials said the company’s SUV exports may increase as shipments of the QM6 to Europe, that started last month, start to pick up pace. The midsized SUV was launched last year in South America, the Middle East and Australia, and this year’s exports are expected to reach 40,000 units to some 80 countries. Shipments to Europe are set at 30,000 units.
