The European passenger car market by engine in the first quarter of 2022
- The share of the different types of engine in sales of passenger cars (PCs) in Europe (29 countries) continues to evolve rapidly. The overall picture shows a steady increase in sales of electrified cars (BEV, PHEV, HEV-Full, HEV-Mild) and a steady decline in petrol and diesel engines.
- Over the 12 months of 2020, petrol engines represented 49% of passenger car sales in Europe and diesel engines 27%. Together, these powertrains accounted for 76% of sales. Alternative engines represented 24% of sales, broken down into 9% MHEV, 6% BEV (100% electric cars), 5% PHEV (plug-in hybrids) and 4% HEV (non-plug-in hybrids).
