Sales of cars in Europe grew 6.8% in April year on year drivgn by registrations of felectric cars.
BEVs expanding sharply by +38% YoY to 254,000 units, increasing their market share to 22.2%.
Sales of ICE vehicles continued to decline sharply, -16.6% YoY, confirming ongoing structural contraction across all major markets, according to the latest data from Jato Dynamics.
PHEVs also outperform the overall market, rising 22% YoY to 119,000 units, supported by continued fleet demand, tax advantages and strong participation from premium and Chinese brands.
Steffen Michulski, regional consultant Europe at JATO Dynamics, said: “Growth in Europe’s car market is now being driven almost entirely by electrified vehicles, while demand for combustion engines continues to decline.
“This is creating a clear divide, with brands that can scale competitive electric models gaining share, and those still reliant on ICE steadily falling behind.”
