Cars, registrations slow in July. Electricity share shrinking

After the strong rise in June, flat car sales last month, the incentive effect is slowing down. In July, according to MIT, 124,806 cars were registered (+4.7% over July 2023). In June, the increase in sales was 15.02%. In the first seven months of 2024 registrations reached 1.011 million (+5.25%). Still far from 2019 pre-covid levels (-18.2% ).

As reported by Ansa, the Stellantis group registered 34,995 cars in Italy in July - according to Dataforce - 8.7% less than in the same month of 2023. The market share was 28.1% compared to 32.1%. In the seven months, the group's registrations amounted to 318,707, 0.3% more than in 2023, with the share dropping from 33% to 31.5%.

"The 4.7% increase in registrations in July is not a reassuring figure in a market that has yet to recover pre-Covid levels. In the platform for incentives launched on 3 June, 69.8% of the allocation for hybrid cars with emissions from 21 to 60 grams of CO2 per kilometre and 41.4% of the allocation for traditional cars still remain to be used," emphasises the Centro Studi Promotor. "We are ready to confront with the Government," said Michele Crisci, Unrae president. recalling the Car Table of 7 August. "The share," noted Roberto Vavassori, president of Anfia, "of the electric car market, which rose to 8.4 per cent in June, is 3.4 per cent in July. "Unfortunately, the Ecobonus, even in its remodelled version," observed Massimo Artusi, president of Federauto, "is not able to influence the renewal of the circulating fleet, orders are back in the doldrums".
