Registrations were up 40% in December and 3% YTD so a positive end to the year, pushing the market into a plus position for the year. Some of the shifts in sales and ranking are extreme. Volvo leaps into second place from tenth while VW slumps down to fifth from first place. Incentives may be part of the reason as new environmentally friendly models arrive they prosper. But there is more to it. Many in the Netherlands seem to want the latest.
One new brand is Voyah from China which sells premium electric cars. It has 24 models sold here so far, the Dream and Free. Will they succeed? Hard to say but the premium market is a hard one to crack. I guess dreams are free although the dream may be about to end. Lotus is however having a good run.
