Sales in Italy and Germany decreased 6 percent and 4.6 percent, respectively. France's sales slid 3.3 percent.

Electric cars accounted for 15.2 percent of total EU market share. New battery electric car sales grew 28.4 percent and hybrid-electric car sales advanced 18.7 percent.

Petrol car registrations reported an annual fall of 20.5 percent with all major markets showing decreases. The market share of petrol cars declined to 29.1 percent. Likewise, the diesel car market share fell to 9.7 percent after a 28 percent plunge in diesel car sales.
