Renault SA, Nissan Motor Co and Mitsubishi Motors Corp together sold 10.76 million passenger cars and light commercial vehicles in 2018, according to Reuters’ calculations after new data released yesterday. The group doesn’t sell heavy trucks.

Volkswagen’s deliveries rose 0.9 percent to a record 10.83 million last year, including its MAN and Scania heavy trucks, it said this month. Excluding heavy trucks, it sold 10.6 million units.
Toyota Motor Corp retained its third spot, announcing yesterday that it had sold 10.59 million vehicles last year including its Toyota and Lexus brands, along with minicars made by subsidiary Daihatsu and light and heavy trucks produced by its truck division Hino Motors. Excluding Hino trucks, Toyota sold 10.39 million units last year.
