European new car sales rise in May
New car sales across Europe made an impressive recovery last month following the Easter blip.
According to the latest Acea figures, year-on-year sales for May were 9.6 per cent up on 2005 figures, peaking at 1.42 million units.
The rise follows a 7.3 per cent year-on-year drop in April – a result of the Easter holiday period – meaning registrations have now risen in four out of the five months so far this year.
