Renault leads marginal European car sales recovery
Registrations rose 1.4%, year-on-year, to 1.15m cars last month, the Brussels-based Association of European Carmakers said, well short of the market’s 8.1% expansion in the first quarter of the year.
May sales marked the “lowest percentage increase since the beginning of this period of consecutive growth”, the association said. The weaker gain also reflected the timing of holidays that left fewer selling days than in May 2014.
