Electric and hybrid vehicles will push new car sales in Europe in 2025, with a global increase of 1.8% depending on the number of gas or diesel models, announced on the third day, 26.
Thanks to more affordable models and purchase incentives, sales of new all-electric cars will drop by almost 30% to 1.88 million units last year, or 17.4% market share (13.6% in 2024), according to data released by the Associação Europeia dos Manufacturers Europeus de Automóveis (ACEA, the French acronym).
This growth is visible in the four main markets of the European continent in contrasts: +77% in Spain, +43.2% in Germany, +18.1% in Western countries, +12.6% in Belgium and +12.5% in France.
Hybrid cars are still not sold in Europe, with 3.7 million units and slightly more in a third of the market. This increase (13.7%) is significantly less dynamic than that recorded by hybrids, which jumped by 9.4% with thousands of units on the market.
There is an exception: in France, hybrid sales represent approximately 26%.
In contrast, fuel-efficient cars will see a decline in 2025, losing 30% of their market share in 2025, from 45.2% in 2024 to 35.5% in 2025.
At 2.88 million units, gas models will rise to 18.7% and now represent just 26.6% of the European market, down from a third in 2024.
This was most highlighted in France (-32%), followed by Germany (-21.6%), Italy (-18.2%) and Spain (-16%).
Diesel continues to decline with a sales share of 24.2% and a market share of 8.9%.
For manufacturers, the balance diverges. The sales of the leader Volkswagen rose by 5.5%, while the sales of the second manufacturer, Stellantis, fell by 4.7%. On the contrary, the third place Renault gained 5.6%, mainly driven by the electric R5. It is followed by Hyundai and Toyota with -3.1% and -6.3% and BMW with an increase of 6.4%.
At No. 10 unranked, No. 1 Brad seller SAIC is up 34%, while in North America Tesla is down 38% at No. 12. At the BYD factory on the 14th place three times for sale.
“With European CO2 targets for passenger and commercial vehicles in 2030, the market share of battery cars will need to almost triple for manufacturers to avoid penalties,” said Sigrid de Vries, CEO of ACEA.
Taking all energy sources into account, the automotive market will grow faster to 10.8 million new cars by 2024. This wave continues many years before the Covid-19 epidemic and 15 million people are wanted.
France (-5%), Italy (-2.1%) and Belgium (-7.5%) will have fewer new cars on the road in 2025, in contrast to Germany (+1.4%) and Spain (+12.9%).
