EU new car registrations up 5.5% in January
Latest figures from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, the ACEA, showed that registrations rose 5.5% to 935,640 units. However, in absolute figures, the total of 935,640 units registered marked the second lowest result to date for a month of January since ACEA began the series in 2003 with the enlarged EU.
Most EU markets posted growth last month, including all the major ones, from +7.6% in the UK and Spain, to +7.2% in Germany, +3.2% in Italy and +0.5% in France.
