Hybrid and electric vehicle registrations accounted for 30% of total saloon car registrations in the first quarter of this year, continuing to increase their momentum in the local car market.
Sponsorship schemes for the purchase of electric vehicles, and also buyers’ shift to hybrid models have contributed to the increase in both market shares.

Toyota registered a clear lead, with 1,026 registrations, with Nissan following, with 212.
