Renault Samsung sales drop 2.9 pct in June
SEOUL, July 1 (Yonhap) -- Renault Samsung Motors Co., the South Korean unit of French automaker Renault SA, said Friday that its sales in June dipped 2.9 percent from a year earlier on a tumble in domestic demand.
Renault Samsung said it sold 24,212 vehicles last month, compared with 24,942 units sold in the same period last year. Exports surged 43.6 percent to 14,778 units, but the growth was not enough to offset a 35.6 percent drop in domestic sales to 9,434 units from 14,653 units a year earlier.
Overall sales in June, however, mark a 23.4 percent gain from the previous month when the company sold 19,624 cars.
For the first half, the carmaker said it sold 123,516 vehicles, a decrease of 8.7 percent from a year earlier. Exports surged 41.4 percent to 70,914 units in the January-June period, while domestic sales plunged 38.2 percent to 52,602 units.
