Exactly 72 089 (Details as PDF here) new cars hit the roads for the first time since the beginning of 2018. This corresponds to a minimal shortfall of 680 registrations, or 0.9%, compared to the previous year. Due in part to the early Easter, March had two fewer working days than a year ago, which explains the market decline of 7.8% last month.
Alternative drives still in high demand
In any case, the first quarter was a very positive one for alternative drive systems. At 6.4 percent, electric, hybrid, gas and hydrogen cars increased their market share by 1.5 percentage points compared to the previous year. The number of units sold was 28.5 percent higher. After three months, all alternative motorizations show a cumulative increase.
