雷诺周四表示，由于推出新车型，第三季度收入有所增长，比许多竞争对手更好地应对整体汽车销售减缓的情况。

法国汽车制造商的总收入在第三季度微增1.8％至107亿欧元（116亿美元），尽管汽车销售下降了0.5％至93亿。

这一结果超出了分析师的预期。

“产品攻势正在显现，”该集团首席财务官蒂埃里·皮托尼表示。

雷诺最近推出了其Scenic MPV和Symbioz、Rafale SUV的电动版本。

其预算品牌达芳(Dacia)推出了其Duster SUV的更新版本。

在2024年推出10款新车型后，雷诺计划在2025年推出七款。

“这个吸引人且有竞争力的车型系列，包括电动和混动车辆，展示了我们适应任何EV过渡速度的灵活性，并且与成本降低一起仍然是该集团绩效的关键支撑，”雷诺在声明中表示。

雷诺股票在巴黎证券交易所早盘交易中飙升了7％以上。

与其他汽车制造商不同，雷诺保持了2024年的财务指导，即集团运营利润率为7.5％或更高，并且自由现金流25亿欧元或更高。

皮托尼表示，雷诺在第三季度设法避免降价，并表示随着推出R5电动掀背车，平均价格应该会大幅上涨。

尽管由于Zoe和当前Twingo电动版停产，电动车在第三季度占总销量的比例低至7.6％，雷诺的电动车阵容将迎来一些新车型。

该公司表示，计划在不抑制内燃机车销售的情况下，通过增加混合动力车销量来满足欧洲CO2排放目标，这个领域在欧洲仅次于丰田。

达芳(Dacia)的入门级掀背车Sandero仍然是欧洲最畅销的汽车。

Renault said Thursday it managed to post an increase in third quarter revenue, weathering the overall slowdown in auto sales better than many rivals thanks in part to the introduction of new models.

Overall revenue at the French carmaker edged 1.8 percent higher to 10.7 billion euros ($11.6 billion) in the third quarter, although auto sales dipped 0.5 percent to 9.3 billion.

The results beat analyst expectations.

“The product offensive is becoming visible,” said the group’s chief financial officer, Thierry Pieton.

Renault recently launched an electric version of its Scenic MPV and Symbioz and Rafale SUVs.

Its budget Dacia brand rolled out an updated version of its Duster SUV.

After 10 new models in 2024, Renault plans to launch seven in 2025.

“This appealing and competitive line-up, with both electric and ICE & hybrid vehicles, demonstrates our flexibility to adapt whatever the pace of EV transition and remains a key support for the Group’s performance together with cost reduction,” Renault said in a statement.

Renault shares revved more than seven percent higher during morning trading on the Paris stock exchange.

Unlike other automakers, Renault maintained its 2024 financial guidance of a group operating margin of 7.5 percent or higher and a free cash flow 2.5 billion euros or higher.

Pieton said Renault had managed to avoid cutting prices on its cars in the third quarter and said the average should rise considerably with the launch of its R5 electric hatchback.

While electric cars hit a low point of 7.6 percent of overall sales in the third quarter thanks in part to the halt in production of the Zoe and current Twingo electric version, Renault’s electric lineup is set to get some new models.

The company said it plans to meet European CO2 emissions targets without throttling its sales of ICE, or internal combustion engine vehicles, thanks in part to an increase in sales of hybrid vehicles, a segment in which it is number two in Europe behind Toyota.

Dacia’s entry-level hatchback, the Sandero, remains Europe’s top-selling car.
