Light Commercial Vehicles sales resist better than Passenger Cars ones in France in January: down ‘only’ 10% year-on-year to 29,733 registrations vs. -15% for the non-commercial segment. The Renault Kangoo is still king of the world here, with 2,984 sales for a round 10% market share this month, followed by the Renault Clio at 7.4% and the Citroen Berlingo at 6.4%. Notice the Peugeot 208 back up to #4 at 1,758 units and 5.9%.

Mercedes Citan

But the big event is a little further down the ranking: we have been waiting for its appearance for a while now and the Dacia Dokker finally emerges at #39 with 168 sales and 0.6% share, figures that should improve drastically over the next few months. Other interesting movements include the Peugeot Bipper up 10 spots on December to #20, the Mercedes Citan at #36 and the Ford Transit Custom at #37.
