Under fire Renault-Nissan tops global car sales league

Volkswagen has held onto its position as the world’s top-selling carmaker for the fifth year in a row, although the German group was edged out again by the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance in the light-duty vehicles segment.

Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi together sold 10.76 million passenger cars and light commercial vehicles in 2018. The group doesn’t sell heavy trucks.
