    Passenger Car Registrations: -38.1% First Half of 2020

    PRESS EMBARGO: 8.00 AM (6.00 AM GMT), 16 July 2020 NEW PASSENGER CAR REGISTRATIONS EUROPEAN UNION1 Passenger car registrations: ‐38.1% first half of 2020; ‐22.3% in June In June 2020, registrations of new passenger cars in the EU totalled 949,722 units, a drop of 22.3% compared to the same month last year, when 1,222,942 cars were sold. However, this does mark a slight improvement over May 2020, which saw a drop of 52.3% across the European Union. Although dealerships opened for business again after lockdown measures were lifted, consumer demand did not fully recover last month. All EU markets continued to post significant declines in June, with France (+1.2%) being the only exception to the rule. The latter can be explained by the new incentives2 to stimulate sales of low‐ emission vehicles that were introduced by the French government at the beginning of June. Looking at the other major car markets, Spain (‐36.7%), Germany (‐32.3%) and Italy (‐23.1%) all recorded double‐digit drops last month. Over the first half of 2020, EU demand for new passenger cars contracted by 38.1%, the result of four consecutive months of unprecedented declines across the region. Among the four major EU markets, Spain saw the biggest decline (‐50.9%) so far this year, followed by Italy (‐46.1%), France (‐38.6%) and Germany (‐34.5%). 1 European Union refers to the new composition with 27 member states (excluding the United Kingdom). For year‐on‐year comparisons, historical data are recalculated to adjust to the new EU27 perimeter.

    New Passenger Car Registrations European Union1

    PRESS EMBARGO: 8.00 AM (7.00 AM GMT), 16 March 2017 NEW PASSENGER CAR REGISTRATIONS EUROPEAN UNION1 Passenger car registrations: +6.2% first two months of 2017; +2.2% in February In February 2017, EU demand for passenger cars increased only modestly (+2.2%), especially when compared to January’s double‐digit figures. February registrations totalled 1,078,503 units. In volume terms, however, this result comes close to February 2008 levels, just before the economic crisis hit the automotive industry. Among the major markets, France (‐2.9%), Germany (‐2.6%) and the UK (‐0.3%) performed less well than last February, partially due to the fact that February 2017 had one working day less. Only Italy (+6.2%) and Spain (+0.2%) saw demand increase during the month. Noteworthy was the performance of the new EU member states (+15.9%), which positively contributed to the results of the region. From January to February 2017, new passenger car registrations increased by 6.2%, totalling 2,248,040 units. Italy (+8.1%), Spain (+4.8%), Germany (+3.5%), France (+3.2%) and the United Kingdom (+1.8%) all saw their markets grow during the first two months of the year, contributing to the overall upturn of the EU market. 1 Data for Malta not available on a monthly basis Page 1 of 5 P R E S S R E L E A S E PRESS EMBARGO FOR ALL DATA: 8.00 AM (7.00 AM GMT), 16 March 2017 PROVISIONAL NEW PASSENGER CAR REGISTRATIONS BY MARKET EUROPEAN UNION 16/03/2017 February February %Change Jan ‐ Feb Jan ‐ Feb %Change '17 '16 17/16 '17 '16 17/16 AUSTRIA 25,311 22,495 +12.5 51,663
