The global automotive sales charts of 2018 will see the top three dominated by European and Asian carmakers, if Renault-Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn has his way.

For now, Japanese giant Toyota remains the world’s best-selling auto manufacturer, followed by the Volkswagen and GM groups.

Speaking with industry paper Automotive News this week, Carlos Ghosn said that replacing GM in the top three is within reach for the Renault-Nissan Alliance.

“We have headwinds in some markets, but we sold 8.5 million units last year,” he told the paper. “The No. 3 [GM] is 1.4 million units ahead of us.”

With 2018 in his sights, just two years before his intended retirement date, Ghosn said “a lot of things can happen in three years”.

Hyundai-Kia is also on the march.

The top three could be a very different list by 2018.
