As we know Renault hasn't ventured into North America for some years now. However, through Dacia models it has had good results in southern parts. Three nations are counted as car producers as seen below.
Total production stands at 339,400 for 2015, down 11% on 2014. That's hardly surprising considering how things are economically. That amounts to 11.2% of total Renault production at its plants, down from 13.7%. It first passed the 10% threshold in 2010.
America | 339,421 | 11.2% | -11% | 379,734 | 13.7% | -22% |
Brazil is the largest with 187,000 vehicles made, including just over 5,000 for Nissan - the Primastar van. The Sandero finished up and Logan production increased accordingly. Brazil makes 55% of American made Renault vehicles, down from 60%.
