Plug-in electric vehicles in Norway

Togg was once again the best-selling electric vehicle (EV) brand in the Turkish market in November, well ahead of its foreign competitors in sales, such as Tesla, BMW and Mercedes.

Local EV maker Togg sold 4,211 cars last month, when the EV market in the country expanded by 20.8 percent year-on-year to 13,544. Togg's share in total EV sales was 32 percent.

New car sales in the European Union saw a modest recovery in October, rising 1.1% year-on-year after consecutive declines in August and September. Registrations reached 866,397 units, buoyed by gains in Spain (up 7.2%) and Germany (up 6%), despite decreases in France (down 11.1%) and Italy (down 9.1%).

The number of electric vehicles on Türkiye's roads increased significantly in the past 10 months, reaching more than 150,000 as of the end of October.

The fast expansion of the EV market was mostly due to domestically produced Togg, which delivered more than 40,000 vehicles in the last one and a half year.

The combined sales of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles declined for a fourth month in a row in July, data from the Automotive Distributors' and Mobility Association (ODMD) has shown.

The market contracted 17.5 percent year-on-year in July when a little more than 94,000 vehicles were sold.

Tesla has secured the top spot in Norway's car sales for three consecutive years, triumphing despite tensions between the American electric vehicle company and influential unions in the Nordic region, according to Reuters.

Sales of new cars jumped last month in Europe, surpassing the level of one million for the first time since June 2021, according to data from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association published on Wednesday.

New car registrations hit 1,087,939 in March, an increase of 28.8 percent from the same month last year.

Ljubljana – The number of registered cars in 2021 was just shy of 1.2 million, an increase of 1.6% compared to 2019. Hybrid cars experienced the most prominent rise, well over 160%. The car fleet renewal rate was low due to a high number of new registrations of used cars. Last year, the number of newly registered cars reached 88.235, an increase of 8.9% compared to the year before.

The number of road motor vehicle registrations in Turkey increased 24 percent year-on-year in January, the country's statistics authority revealed on Feb. 23.

A total of 117,313 first- and second-hand vehicles were registered last month, according to the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK).

Compared to the previous month, motor vehicle registration surged by 37.5 percent.

The number of electric vehicles in Turkey has reached a total of 1,500, said Berkan Bayram, the head of the Electric and Hybrid Vehicles Association (TEHAD).

Scheme for imposing electric vehicles provides a number of reliefs for their owners, Daily Mail writes. Electric cars will have special, green license plates. Cars with these numbers will have the right to cheaper or free parking and to drive in bus lanes.
