Sales by Market

European sales rose 12 percent to 902,775 in February, the seventh month of straight increases as EV demand surged.

The rise in registrations was helped by an 18 percent increase in demand for EVs and an easing of supply-chain shortages.

MG, Alfa Romeo, Land Rover, Tesla and Porsche were among monthly winners in the German new-car market in February.

Skoda, Nissan and Dacia each recorded gains of more than 30 percent. Orders were down 9 percent from January, raising concerns about second-half volume.
