ALFA ROMÉO, down 64.5% to 11 units

For once, Citroën was the group's best performer in August, both in terms of passenger cars and commercial vehicles, with a significant increase in sales. With 269 units sold, Citroën increased its sales of commercial vehicles by 71.3% and took second place with a market share of 14.07%. On the overall market, including VP + LCV, Citroën's sales rose by 54.8% to 1,034 units, putting it in 4th place in terms of overall sales.
