PRESS EMBARGO: NEW PASSENGER CAR REGISTRATIONS BY FUEL TYPE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION 1 Quarter 3 2018 Fuel types of new cars: diesel 18.2%, petrol +15.2%, electric +30.0% in third quarter of 2018 In the third quarter of 2018, almost 58% of all new passenger cars sold in the EU ran on petrol, while roughly one third was fuelled by diesel. All alternatively powered vehicles (APV) combined accounted for 7.8% of the market, and just 2% of cars registered across the EU during the third quarter of 2018 was electrically chargeable. 1 Data for Croatia, Cyprus, Luxembourg and Malta is not available Page 1 of 10
Petrol and diesel cars Petrol s market share increased by almost 7 percentage points compared to the third quarter of 2017, now accounting for almost 58% of the market. Demand for petrol cars increased in all the EU member states except Sweden growing by 15.2% in the region. At the same time, diesel car sales declined in most of the EU countries except Denmark, Romania, Bulgaria and Poland. As a result, the share of diesel cars fell from 43.1% to 34.7% of the market compared to the same quarter one year ago. Alternatively powered vehicles (APV) In the third quarter of 2018, demand for alternatively powered cars in the European Union continued to post strong growth (+29.7%), mostly driven by the strong performance of battery (+37.4%), hybrid (+37.1%) and plug in hybrid electric vehicles (+24.5%). Demand for LPG and NGV vehicles also increased up 11.8% in the third quarter of the year supported by growth of both natural gas and propane fuelled cars. Demand for alternatively powered vehicles significantly increased in all the major EU markets. APV registrations saw the highest percentage gains in Spain (+62.5%) thanks to a notable uplift in the LPG and NGV segments and Germany (+51.4%). Page 2 of 10
