According to data released by the British Automobile Manufacturers Association (SMMT), new car sales in the UK in February fell 2.8% from the same period in 2017, and the number of registrations dropped to 80,805. February is also the month with the shortest time before the card change in March, only 28 days.
In February, sales of gasoline vehicles and new energy vehicles in the United Kingdom continued to increase, with increases of 14.4% and 7.2% respectively. The increase in sales of gasoline vehicles was mainly due to the launch of some new and small vehicles. Last month, the sales volume of diesel vehicles fell by 23.5%, and diesel vehicles were criticized for environmental pollution. Therefore, new energy vehicles also affected the sales growth of diesel vehicles.
From January to February, total sales in the UK's new car market fell by 5.1%, with a total of 244,420 units sold. Among them, business car purchases, personal car purchases and wholesale car purchases all declined, with decreases of 29.8%, 7.1% and 2.1% respectively. At the same time, the double-digit growth rate of gasoline vehicles and new energy vehicles failed to withstand the decline of diesel vehicles. The current market share of diesel vehicles is only 35.6%. This deviation in demand also means that owners of diesel vehicles may hold their old models for a long time.
