*There are cases where recently released data and detailed information in the database do not match up for reasons including different information sources, and discrepancies between preliminary reports and confirmed data.

German passenger car sales down 7.0% in September, EV up 8.7%, HV up 3.1%
The number of September new passenger car registrations in Germany was 208,848 units, down 7.0% from the same month last year, and the total sales for the first nine months of the year was 2,116,074 units, down 1.0% from the same period last year, according to the figures released by the Germany Federal Motor Vehicle Office (KBA) on October 4.
Looking at passenger car registrations by brand in September, VW decreased 7.4% to 38,914 units (18.6% share), Mercedes decreased 13.0% to 18,385 units (8.8% share), BMW rose 0.7% to 17,851 units (8.5% share), Skoda jumped 34.8% to 17,212 units (8.2% share), Audi plunged 16.6% to 14,938 units (7.2% share), Opel decreased 20.5% to 11,185 units (5.4% share) and SEAT dropped 5.8% to 10,852 units (5.2% share).
Sales of gasoline vehicles decreased 15.2% YOY to 67,009 units (32.1% share), those of hybrid vehicles (HV) increased 3.1% to 75,433 units with a 36.1% share (of which plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHV) fell 2.9% to 14,936 units with a 7.2% share), and electric vehicles (EV) rose 8.7% to 34,479 units with a 16.5% share. Sales of diesel-powered vehicles plunged 22.0% to 31,115 units with a market share of 14.9%. 769 LPG-powered cars were newly registered with a market share of 0.4%, up 15.5%. 1 natural gas-powered car was registered, while no new registrations were made for the hydrogen drive type.
The 8.7% increase in EVs was due to weak September sales in reaction to the termination of environmental incentives for customers purchasing EVs for commercial vehicles on August 31, 2023.
In September, a total of 49,430 electric cars (BEV, PHEV, FCEV) were newly registered, up 5% from a year earlier. After nine months, a total of around 409,400 new electric cars were registered, down 20% from the same period last year.
Demand for electric vehicles is currently weak overall in Germany. Accordingly, the VDA is moderately adjusting its forecasts for electric vehicle sales for 2024: The VDA expects a decline in new registrations on the German electric car market in 2024 as a whole by 21% to 551,000 units (previous forecast: -17% to 578,000 units).
Average CO2 emissions decreased by 5.9% to 112.8 g/km.
Truck registrations in September dropped 6.6% YOY to 20,990 units, while bus registrations were up 2.0% YOY to 300 units.
According to the German Association of the Automobile Manufacturers (VDA), domestic passenger car production in September was up 9% to 393,600 units. Meanwhile, exports of passenger cars jumped 11% YOY to 305,400 units. Production fell 1% to 3,110,900 units, while exports rose 3% YOY to 2,420,200 units in the January-September period.

New registrations fell in August due to a pull-out effect, which had already been noticeable in July. Passenger car sales grew in June due to a one-off effect of the rush demand for non-compliant vehicles before the EU's ISA (Intelligent Speed Assist) regulation takes effect on July 7, 2024.

Sales of gasoline vehicles decreased 7.4% YOY to 70,007 units (35.5% share), those of hybrid vehicles (HV) decreased 1.5% to 69,344 units with a 35.1% share (of which plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHV) fell 6.8% to 13,565 units with a 6.9% share), and electric vehicles (EV) decreased 68.8% to 27,024 units with a 13.7% share. Sales of diesel-powered vehicles plummeted 24.4% to 29,994 units with a market share of 15.2%.
In August, a total of 40,600 electric cars (BEV, PHEV, FCEV) were newly registered, almost 60% less than a year earlier. After eight months, a total of around 359,900 new electric cars were registered, down 22% from the same period last year.

German passenger car sales up 6.1% in June, EV down 8.1%, HV up 12.4%
The number of June new passenger car registrations in Germany was 297,329 units, up 6.1% from the same month last year, and the total sales for the period from January to June was 1,471,641 units, up 5.4% from the same period last year, according to the figures released by the Germany Federal Motor Vehicle Office (KBA) on July 3.
Looking at passenger car registrations by brand in June, VW increased 14.2% to 60,754 units (20.4% share), Skoda increased 51.9% to 22,419 units (7.5% share), Mercedes decreased 15.3% to 21,359 units (7.2% share), BMW increased 6.9% to 20,947 units (7.0% share), Audi's sales were down 18.2% to 23,998 (6.9%), SEAT’s sales were up 42.0% to 19,105 (6.4%), and Opel's sales were up 17.9% to 17,107 (5.8%).
Sales of gasoline vehicles increased 12.1% y-o-y to 37.6% share, hybrid vehicles (HV) increased 12.4% to 87,970 units with a 29.6% share (of which plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHV) decreased 3.4% to 15,391 units with a 5.2% share), and electric vehicles (EV) decreased 8.1% to 43,412 units with a 14.6% share. Diesel-powered vehicles increased by 12.4% to 17.7% of the market share.
The increase in passenger car sales in June is said to have been a one-off effect of the rush demand for non-compliant vehicles before the EU's ISA (Intelligent Speed Assist) regulation takes effect on July 7, 2024. Due to the termination of incentives for EVs, EV sales have been below the year-ago level for six consecutive months. For the full year, EV demand is estimated to be just under 600,000 units, 17% lower than previously forecast. On the other hand, for plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHVs), it is not expected to see a decline in demand as seen for EVs.
Average CO2 emissions increased by 3.8% to 119.5 g/km.
Truck registrations in June were up 50.8% year-on-year to 39,546 units, while bus registrations were up 39.4% to 679 units.
According to the German Association of the Automobile Manufacturers (VDA), domestic passenger car production in June was down 9% to 350,200 units, while exports of passenger cars were down 5% to 275,800 units. Production declined 6% to 2,088,700 units and exports fell 2% to 1,620,500 units in the January-June period.

The German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) announced on June 5 that the number of new passenger car registrations in May was 236,425 down 14.3% from the same month last year. The total number of new passenger car registrations in the January-May period was 1,174,312, up 5.2% from the same period last year.
In May, passenger car registrations by brand were as follows: VW increased 8.7% to 47,636 units (20.1% share), Mercedes decreased 28.9% to 19,832 units (8.4% share), BMW decreased 32.5% to 18,568 units (7.9% share), Audi decreased 17.7% to 18,233 units (7.7% share).

German Passenger Car Sales up 5.4% in February
The number of new passenger car registrations in February was 217,388 units, up 5.4% from the same month last year, according to the German Federal Land Transport Authority (KBA).
Looking at February passenger car registrations by brand, VW increased 2.1% to 40,361 units (18.6% share), Mercedes decreased 7.4% to 20,70 units (9.2% share), BMW increased 8.1% to 16,096 units (7.4% share), and Skoda increased 15.3% to 15,848 units (7.3% share). Audi decreased by 21.9% to 14,274 (6.6%), Seat increased by 45.0% to 11,761 (5.4%), and Opel increased by 20.1% to 11,571 (5.3%).
Sales of gasoline vehicles in February increased 2.3% y-o-y to 77,106 units with a 35.5% share, hybrid vehicles (HV) increased 17.6% to 69,367 units with a 31.9% share (including a 22.3% increase to 14,575 units for plug-in hybrids (PHV) with a 6.7% share), electric vehicles (EVs) down 15.4% to 27,479 with a 12.6% share, and diesel vehicles up 9.7% to 42,153 with a 19.4% share.
The bonus for PHVs was eliminated in January 2023. Therefore, electrified vehicle sales had a rush in the fourth quarter of 2022, but fell in January 2023 in reaction to the rush; the EV environmental bonus was also eliminated in December 2023. Due to the low volume in the same month of the previous year, January 2024 appeared to show growth, but in February, which is more indicative of the actual situation, EV sales were down by double digits, clearly indicating that EV sales are losing momentum.
Average CO2 emissions increased by 2.5% to 122.8 g/km.
Truck registrations in February were up 21.6% y/y to 26,579 units, while bus registrations were up 25.3% to 510 units.
According to the Association of the German Automobile Manufacturers (VDA), passenger car exports in February were 277,700 units, unchanged from the same month last year, while domestic production was down 2% to 374,800 units.
