Renault SA s first-half operating return beat expectations, helped by cost cuts and a strong electric-car lineup that delivered better returns than some premium carmaking peers.
The manufacturers operating margin stood at 5.2%, Renault said Wednesday. While this is lower than a year ago, its still above average analyst forecasts. The French company pointed to success in cutting variable costs with a medium-term reduction goal of 400 ($455) per vehicle annually, with more plans to reduce expenses.
雷诺集团上半年营业回报率超出预期，这得益于成本削减措施以及强大的电动汽车产品线，其回报表现甚至优于部分高端汽车制造商。
雷诺公司周三表示，该制造商的营业利润率为5.2%。虽然低于去年同期水平，但仍高于分析师的平均预期。这家法国公司指出，其在降低可变成本方面取得了成功，中期目标是将单车年成本削减400欧元（合455美元），并制定了更多降本计划。
