據美國油價網2022年9月1日報道，在法國著名汽車制造商雷諾公司將其熱力發動機業務從電動汽車部門分離出來以后，沙特阿拉伯國家石油公司（沙特阿美）可能會入股雷諾公司未來的熱力發動機業務。

據路透社周二報道，日本汽車制造商日產不打算在雷諾公司的內燃機業務中持股。

雷諾公司正在創建一個新部門，將把其在西班牙、葡萄牙、土耳其、羅馬尼亞和拉丁美洲的所有汽油、混合動力發動機和變速器生產基地合并在一起。雷諾公司希望通過分擔柴油和汽油發動機的成本，可以騰出資金再投資于電動車型，這是雷諾公司與日產和三菱共同開創的一項技術，但已經落后于特斯拉等公司。

在今年上半年全球銷量同比下降12%至100萬輛以后，雷諾公司股票一直在下跌，其中E-Tech系列（電動汽車和混合動力系統）在今年上半年占歐洲乘用車銷量的36%，而2021年為26%。

但并非只有雷諾公司的化石燃料汽車業務在萎縮。歐盟6月份乘用車登記量同比下降15.4%，至1996年以來的最低水平。根據歐洲汽車制造商協會（ACEA）的數據，由于供應鏈問題繼續限制汽車產量，5月份歐盟乘用車注冊量下降11.2%，至88.6萬輛，同比下降15.4%。今年上半年，歐盟新車注冊量下降14%，至460萬輛。本月，德國的跌幅最大，為18.1%，其次是意大利，下跌15%，法國下跌14.2%和西班牙下跌7.8%。 

電動汽車的前景要光明得多，電動汽車、插電式混合動力汽車和混合動力汽車的市場份額繼續增加，目前它們的市場份額加起來已達到42.5%。

Aramco Set To Take Stake In Renault's Future Thermal Engine Business

Saudi Arabia’s oil and gas giant Saudi Aramco could take a stake in French automaker Renault’s (OTCPK: RNSDF) future thermal engine business after it separates it from its electric vehicle division. 

The report notes that Japanese carmaker Nissan (OTCPK: NSANY), does not plan to take a stake in the combustion engine business. 

Renault is in the process of creating a new division that will bring together all of its petrol and hybrid engine and transmission production sites in Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Romania and Latin America. The company hopes that by sharing costs for diesel and gasoline engines, it will free up funds to reinvest in electric models, a technology it pioneered with Nissan and Mitsubishi, but has fallen behind the likes of Tesla Inc. .

Renault stock has been falling after H1 2022 worldwide sales dropped to 12% Y/Y to 1,000,199 units, with the E-Tech range (electric vehicles and hybrid powertrains) accounting for 36% of passenger car sales in Europe in the 1H2022 vs. 26% in 2021.

But it’s not just Renault that’s witnessing a contraction in its fossil fuel vehicle business. EU passenger car registrations plunged 15.4% Y/Y in the month of June to the lowest level on record in terms of volume since 1996. According to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), European Union passenger car registrations fell 15.4% to 886,510 units following an 11.2% contraction in May as supply chain issues continue to limit vehicle output. New car registrations in the EU shrank by 14% to 4.6M units in 1H22.For the month, Germany posted the strongest decline of -18.1%, followed by Italy -15%, France -14.2% and Spain -7.8%.

The EV outlook is much brighter, with electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and hybrids continuing to increase their market share, with a combined market share now of 42.5%.
