Spain led the way with a robust double-digit 28.8% increase, followed by France with a modest 1.5% rise. However, among the four largest EU markets, declines were observed in Germany (-7.1%) and Italy (-4.9%).<\/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\/678e779e629a4\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Battery-electric cars remained the third-most-popular choice for buyers in 2024. In December, their market share stood at 15.9%, contributing to a 13.6% share for the full year, again surpassing diesel, which declined to 11.9%. Petrol cars retained their lead at 33.3%, while hybrid-electric cars strengthened their second position, commanding a 30.9% market share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-electric-cars\">Electric cars<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Registrations of battery-electric cars fell by 10.2% to 144,367 units in <strong>December 2024<\/strong>. This decline was primarily driven by a significant decrease in registrations in Germany (-38.6%) and France (-20.7%), leading to a 5.9% decrease in market volume for 2024 compared to 2023. As a result, the total market share for battery-electric cars stood at 13.6% for 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plug-in hybrid car registrations rose by 4.9% last month, driven by significant increases in France (44.9%) and Germany (6.8%). In <strong>December<\/strong>, plug-in hybrids accounted for 8.3%, maintaining the same level as the previous year. However, year-total volumes for 2024 were down by 6.8% compared to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hybrid-electric registrations increased by 33.1% in <strong>December<\/strong>, with market share rising to 33.6%, up from 26.5% last December, exceeding petrol car registrations for the fourth consecutive month.<\/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>December 2024<\/strong>, petrol car registrations dropped by 1.8%, with all major markets showing declines except Spain, which saw an increase of 16%. France experienced the steepest drop, with registrations plummeting by 23%, followed by Italy with an 11.4% decline. Germany also recorded a decrease of 7.4%. With 269,260 new cars registered last month, the market share for petrol dropped to 29.6%, down from 31.6% in the same month last year. The diesel car market declined by 15%, resulting in a 9.8% market share for diesel vehicles last December. Overall, double-digit declines were observed in most EU markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<blockquote class=\"shareable-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content\">In 2024, new car registrations rose slightly, increasing by 0.8% to around 10.6 million units.
