(AOF) – The DBT group, European expert in charging stations for electric vehicles, presents its new strategic plan for the period 2024-2028. DBT announces the objective of crossing the milestone of 25 million euros in turnover in 2025 and 50 million euros in 2028 driven by the development of the “operator” activity thanks to the intensification of network deployment of available stations and the increase in their utilization rate. The 2023 financial year is expected to record consolidated turnover of around 11 million euros, up 12% compared to 2022.
This figure is, however, lower than the latest forecasts “due to limited financing resources” to “launch in parallel the industrialization phase of the Milestone range, fully ensure the production of orders recorded over the financial year and a higher than expected proportion of terminal production for the needs of the R3 network.

A French market in good shape
The French automobile market recorded its tenth consecutive month of growth in October 2023 with 152,383 registrations of new passenger vehicles (+22% year-on-year). It increased by 16.49% over the first 10 months of 2023, with 1.44 million registrations, almost as many as in 2022 (1.52 million) but much less than the level of 2019 (2.2 million ). However, the forecast indicators are not good because new orders fell by 13% at the end of September 2023. The slowdown in orders could be explained by inflation, the rise in interest rates, and more prudent management of their cash flow by companies (half of the market). If Stellantis (Peugeot, Citroën, Fiat, Opel, Jeep) remains the leader of the French market, with a market share greater than 28%, the Renault group (Renault, Dacia, Alpine) benefited from good performances in October 2023, with almost 31% additional new registrations over one year. The French group represents 24.6% of the private car market.
