After crossing each country, the consumptions and savings effects were calculated.
The overall car market remained stable in November, with 24,228 new registrations and an increase of 0.5 percent compared to the same month last year. Since the beginning of the year, 276,641 passenger vehicles have been registered for the first time, an increase of 1.6 percent compared to the same period in 2018.
Alternative drives still in vogue
More than one in ten new cars in 2019 will not have a gasoline or diesel engine, or will have one. This is because, in addition to electric models, the other alternative drive systems are also in high demand. Overall, they account for 12.1 percent of the market for new passenger cars this year.
CNG vehicles are also growing strongly, with an increase of 50.8 percent. Another encouraging aspect is that CNG-powered cars have not only increased in absolute terms with 1175 sales so far in 2019, but have also increased their market share from 0.3 to 0.4 percent.
Cheaper and environmentally friendly
CNG models, such as those offered by Seat and other VW Group brands, offer the opportunity to drive in a more environmentally friendly way immediately and at reasonable prices. The video of a test over 2600 kilometers with the Seat Arona TGI through Spain, France, Italy and Switzerland shows you how you can save.
