Hybrid car sales have been celebrating since the beginning of the year with a market share increase of 5 points compared to 2023, reaching 31.2%.

Electric vehicles, for their part, will lose 0.8 points in 2024 compared to 2023, with a market share of 13.4% if we only consider the European Union and 15.1% if we include the United Kingdom.

The launch of the new C3 will undoubtedly give it a good start.
