On the other hand, the French and the German markets saw their results stagnate (-0.5% and \u20110.3% respectively).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-new-eu-car-registrations-by-power-source\">New EU car registrations by power source<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><iframe class=\"localfocusvisual\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width:100%;height:450px;overflow:hidden\" src=\"https:\/\/localfocuswidgets.net\/66eacc9a84795\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n<p>In <strong>August<\/strong>, battery-electric cars accounted for 14.4% of the EU car market, down from 21% the previous year. This represents the fourth consecutive month of decline this year, contrasting sharply with the almost consistent month-on-month increases last year. Plug-in hybrid car registrations were also marked by a sizeable 22.3% decline. The combined share of petrol and diesel cars also dropped slightly to 44.3%, down from 45.1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-electric-cars\">Electric cars<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>August 2024<\/strong>, registrations of battery-electric (BEV) cars dropped by 43.9% to 92,627 units (compared to 165,204 the same period last year), with their total market share slipping to 14.4% from 21% a year before. This was driven by the spectacular drop in the two biggest markets for BEV cars: Germany (-68.8%) and France (-33.1%). From January to August, 902,011 new battery-electric cars were registered, representing 12.6% of the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plug-in hybrid car registrations saw a decrease (-22.3%) last month, with declines recorded in all their major markets. In August, plug-in hybrids accounted for 7.1% of the total car market, down from 7.4% last year, with 45,590 units sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hybrid-electric vehicles are the only vehicle type that saw growth in August, with car registrations rising by 6.6% to 201,552 units. Three of the four largest markets for this segment recorded gains: Spain (+12.6%), France (+12.5%), and Italy (+2.5%), while Germany (-0.1%) remained stable. The hybrid-electric market share reached 31.3%, up from 24% in August 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-petrol-and-diesel-cars\">Petrol and diesel cars<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>August 2024<\/strong>, petrol car sales dropped by 17.1%, all four key markets recording significant declines: France (\u201136.6%), Italy (-18.8%), Spain (-17.4%), and Germany (-7.4%). Petrol cars now represent 33.1% of the market, down from 32.6% in August last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The diesel car market saw a decline of 26.4%, resulting in a 11.2% share of the market last August.
