Not quite sure why they still report Brand sales list and not groups.Here is another breakdown of the UK car sales in May 24
Points of interest....Tesla stays top with only two models, BMW 2nd but with four models in their range![]()
May 2024 - Tesla stays on top in the UK
May saw plugin EVs take 25.7% share of the UK auto market, up from 23.1% year on year. Most of the gain was from PHEVs, whilst BEVs barely improved. Overall auto volume was 147,678 units, up by some 2% YoY, and still below pre-2020 norms (~175,000). The UKâs leading BEV brand in May remained...pushevs.com
Diesel sales continue their collapse
Petrol sales down slightly...but the biggest beneficiary are plug in hybrids...of course this benefits traditional automakers such as Toyota. I suspect the nervousness over battery vehicles combined with the fear of ULEZs being the driving force
VW Group are number 1 in the trailing quarter to May by the looks of things, by a fair distance.
The relentless bad press does have an effect, and people are short of cash so cheaper may have to do.
Won't stop fleet sales though.
