Just a few days ago we had the news of how Toyota is still number one carmaker, despite the vicissitudes of the numerous recalls of cars that characterized 2010. The Japanese manufacturer has long been the target of Volkswagen, which wants to become number one in the world and has already set the date: 2018.
By this date the Wolfsburg aims to oust the Japanese from the top step of the podium. In the meantime, however, that podium is not even occupied by Volkswagen, which closed in 2010, fourth place behind Toyota, General Motors and Renault-Nissan group. Just ex-Japan alliance is the surprise of 2010 with 7,280,000 units sold, compared to 7,140,000 in Volkswagen.
The shares are divided as follows: Renault sold 2,625,796 units, just over half of that Nissan has sold, 4,080,588, and Lada has held steady at 570,014 (+37.6% compared to 2009). Both for Renault-Nissan, Volkswagen is the main market are in China, where the first has sold 1.038 million cars well (most of Nissan), while in France that Renault makes the lion's share, with 744,549 units sold.
Renault and Nissan are in some ways a kind of opposite of the German giant, especially on electric. If Wolfsburg zero emission mobility is still far from being used in accordance with Renault and Nissan, the time is already ripe and 2011 will reach Fluence Renault and Nissan Leaf (Car of the Year 2011).
A different approach, for now ingiudicabile yet but soon will see who is right and who's not.
