Rise of alternative powertrains (APVs)

The striking jump in the sales of BEVs appears as a testament to Europe's commitment to electrification, as all-electric vehicle sales increased by 53 in Europe, reaching a total unit of 224,147 cars. Romania witnessed an impressive 409% increase in BEV sales, while Spain followed with 110%. France and Germany also kept up the positive trend by 42.9% and 29.5%. On the other hand, Italy appeared as the only country where BEV sales dropped by 15%.

PHEVs also stayed strong, increasing the overall market share despite a 5.4% shrink in sales across Europe, accounting for 199,107 unit sales. France and Germany lost interest in PHEVs, sales declining 13% and 6.3%, respectively. In contrast, Spain and Italy favoured this segment, with 46.9% and 19% increase in sales, respectively.

Market share of HEVs increased 5.4% from January to March, totaling 563,035 cars, only witnessing a 6.4% fall in Italy while rising in other major European markets.

The decline of natural gas vehicles (NGVs) continued, with a remarkable 54% fall (only 6,291 units sold), while LPG-fuelled cars made a 49% jump, most significantly in Germany with 287.9%.


Fossil fuel continues to drop sharply

The downward shift of petrol and diesel cars continued in Europe, diesel facing a sharp decline of 33.5% in sales (378,011 units) and losing 5.5% market share. All four major European markets scored a fall in diesel between 20.4% and 44%.
