Brussels, 8 November 2017
In the third quarter of 2017, registrations of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) in the European Union continued to show strong growth, with demand increasing by 51.4% compared to last year. 211,635 alternatively-powered cars were registered over this period, accounting for 6.2% of total passenger car sales. Electrically-chargeable vehicles (ECVs) made up for 1.6% of all cars sold across the EU during the third quarter of the year.
Growth was largely sustained across all segments: registrations of battery, hybrid and plug-in electric cars accounted for the highest percentage gains, going up by 60.9%, 59.7% and 53.2% respectively. Demand for new LPG-fuelled cars increased by 38.1% compared to the same period last year, and registrations of cars powered by natural gas were 12.9% higher.
Each of the five big markets posted double-digit increases, making a significant contribution to the region’s positive performance. Registrations almost doubled in Spain and Germany, increasing by 90.7% and 82.7% compared to one year ago – followed by the United Kingdom (+48.2%), France (+47.9%) and Italy (+33.3%). Germany and the UK accounted for the largest numbers of new electrically-chargeable cars registered in the EU.
These percentage increases are impressive, but mainly because they are coming from a low base. When looking at the relative numbers, the market share of alternative fuel vehicles remains small. Only one in 60 cars sold during the third quarter of 2017 was an electrically-chargeable one, while all alternative technologies combined – including hybrid, fuel cell, ethanol (E85), LPG and natural gas vehicles – accounted for one in 16 new passenger cars registered in the EU.

In September 2017, passenger car registrations across the European Union fell by 2.0%, totalling 1,427,105 units.

Momentum in some of the EU’s five key markets is starting to slow, especially in the United Kingdom (‐9.3%) and Germany (‐3.3%). However, these declines were partially offset by the solid performance of the Italian and Spanish markets (up 8.1% and 4.6% respectively).
Over the first nine months of 2017, demand for passenger cars remained positive in the EU, with almost 11.7 million new vehicles registered – an increase of 3.7% compared to the same period last year.
