LPG and CNG disappearing from the French market
02-20-2012 by Challenge Bibendum
Resume:
One year after discontinuing the incentive of 2,000 euros for the purchase of an LPG or CNG vehicle, these two motorizations are slowly disappearing from the French market.
One year after discontinuing the incentive of 2,000 euros for the purchase of an LPG or CNG vehicle, these two motorizations are slowly disappearing from the French market: no CNG vehicles and only 212 LPG ones (compared with 4,300 units in January 2011) were registered in January 2012.
The Dacia Sandero represented most of the LPG sales (163 units) in January which was only 0.14 % of market share.
Hybrid vehicles are progressing. The arrival of PSA Peugeot Citroën in the segment is beginning to be felt: the 3008 HYbrid4 showed the best sales performance of its segment for January with 272 units, ahead of the Toyota Auris (225 units) and Prius (132 units).
Sales of electric vehicles in January were a modest 311 units. The segment was dominated by Bolloré with 153 BlueCars (essentially for the Parisian carsharing scheme Autolib) and Mia with 68 registrations, ahead of Peugeot (35 iOn), Renault (31 Fluence) and Citroën (13 C-Zéro).
Lastly in the super ethanol segment the registrations increased fivefold to 645 units, representing 0.4 % of market share.
All these different motorizations barely add up to 1.5 % of registrations in the month of January.
The diesel vehicles accounted for 72.6 % of sales and gasoline models 25.8%.
