European sales dip in September
New car registrations fell across Europe last month as the loss of one day of trading took its toll.
Year-on-year sales fell 2.6 per cent in September to 1.4 million units, according to the latest figures from ACEA, the association of European car makers.
Acea said the figures were affected by the loss of one trading day compared to last September but also described the European new car market as “flat”. Year-to-date sales are now just 0.1 per cent ahead of 2005 at 11.85 million units.
