During the fifth month of the year, 6,534 vehicles of these types were delivered in Spain, with a decrease in deliveries of passenger cars of 58% and 6,290 units.
Sales of electrified vehicles rose in nine autonomous communities in May, with very low volumes.
Madrid, June 1, 2020 – Registrations of electrified, hybrid and gas vehicles (passenger cars, ATVs, commercial and industrial vehicles and buses) were reduced in May, due to the impact of the coronavirus crisis, by 59.2 % with respect to the same month of the previous year, with sales in the period of 6,290 units. As for passenger car sales, these deliveries decreased 58%, to 6,534 units.
Among all the vehicle categories, only plug-in hybrids manage to improve their sales compared to the same month last year, although the volume is only 749 units. The greatest impact is attributed to gas vehicle sales, with an 83% drop in deliveries, to 603 units.
In the accumulated index for the year, sales of electrified, hybrid and gas vehicles (passenger cars, ATVs, commercial and industrial vehicles and buses) fell 24.5% to 48,060 units. By categories, plug-in hybrids are also the only ones that manage to maintain an upward trend, with 4,126 units delivered between January and May and a growth of 34%.
By Autonomous Communities, sales of electrified vehicles grew in May in Aragon, the Canary Islands, Cantabria, Castilla La Mancha, Ceuta and Melilla, the Valencian Community, Galicia, Murcia and Navarra. However, the volumes are so low that they fail to lift the falls in markets such as Madrid and Catalonia, those with the highest sales. The commercializations of hybrid vehicles fell in all the Autonomous Communities.
