We have already put the year-end to 2018, and take with strength this new 2019. However, it is time to review data and results harvested in the previous year. We are going to review the registrations of passenger car registrations in December 2018 and compare the behavior of the market in 2018 with respect to the previous 2017.
December 2018 has not obtained positive records regarding the same month of 2017. The decrease has been 1.9% , having registered a total of 101,544 passenger cars in these last days of the year. Fortunately, the fall is less noticeable than the one registered in November, although the change in regulations to the WLTP is still noticeable. In the global year-round 2018, 1,334,085 cars have been registered, assuming a growth of 7.5%.
