After a significant decline in the previous month, significantly more cars were approved in the EU in July. Sales rose by 7.4 percent of the year to 914,680 vehicles, as the Association of European Manufacturers ACEA announced in Brussels on Thursday. In the first seven months, 0.7 percent fewer cars were re -registered than in the same period last year.
BYD before Tesla – through self -registration?
In July the VolkswagenGroup and BMW clearly too. Lost to the e-car manufacturers Tesla With a drop in paragraph from around 42 percent to 6600 pieces on the ground. The US group was from the Chinese brand Byd Overhauled, which triples its approvals in the EU on 9698 cars. The Chinese also pushed themselves in front of the Americans with regard to the market share.
However, the numbers should be enjoyed with caution. According to the central association of the vehicle trade (ZDK), self-admissions of car manufacturers and dealers often deceive the mAUE demand for Electric cars over. The demand for electric cars for private buyers and the commercial approvals have been shrinking for two years, the ZDK said in the middle of the month. Only the self -registrations “stimulate the approval statistics”.
BYD is considered a master of beautiful registration figures. By April, 4 out of 10 approved vehicles made up so -called self -registration.
In the first half of 2025, the self -registration of battery -electric cars by manufacturers and trade compared to the same period in 2023 would have more than doubled – to 65,401 vehicles, according to the ZDK. The manufacturers’ self -registration alone would have quadrupled in two years.
Overall, the proportion of battery -operated vehicles in July was only 15.6 percent and, according to the association, “far from what it should be at this point in time”. Hybrid models, on the other hand, have continued to enjoy growing popularity and remained the most popular type of drive for buyers, ACEA wrote.
