The market for new cars in the European Union grew last year due to an increase in sales of hybrid and electric models

The largest share among new registrations was held by hybrid cars, which accounted for 34.5% of the market, corresponding to more than a third of all sales. The main drivers of this growth were Spain and France, where sales increased by 23.1% and 21.6% respectively.

The second position in market share was taken by gasoline engine vehicles, which made up 26.6%. However, key EU countries are experiencing a decline in their sales. For instance, in France, the number of registrations for gasoline cars fell by 32%, while in Germany, 22% fewer such cars hit the roads compared to last year.

Third place was occupied by fully electric vehicles with a share of 17.4%, corresponding to the registration of about 1.9 million battery electric vehicles — this is a 30% increase compared to 2024. A particularly noticeable growth was observed in Germany, where it reached 43.2%.

Plug-in hybrids accounted for 9.4% of the market, with new registrations increasing by 33.4%. In contrast, sales of diesel vehicles continue to decline, making up 8.9% of the total volume. Other types of engines account for only 3.3%.
