Global Light Vehicle Sales Update

February 2020

Global Light Vehicle (LV) sales fell by 19.9% year-on-year (YoY) in February, while the selling rate plunged to just 64.9 mn units/year, the worst result since the financial crisis. Sales did improve YoY in the US, Canada and Eastern Europe but these modest increases do not compensate for the enormous 80.4% YoY decrease in China, or the weakness in Western Europe and Asia.

March 2020

A fall of this proportion is unprecedented in what is, generally, a mature, stable region. The spread of coronavirus COVID-19 now dominates regional woes, with widespread government-imposed lockdowns, and subsequent plant closures.

W European Diesel Car Market

February 2020

The theme of near plateauing of the diesel car mix continued in February with a preliminary diesel share of 31.8% being recorded across the region. At 306,000, diesel sales in February were reduced by 55,000 units compared with a year earlier. Almost half of that loss was caused by Italy with other markets suffering modest declines while Belgium’s diesel car market was larger than that of a year ago.
