European carmakers set to sell more vehicles this year
Passenger car registrations in the EU are expected to rise to 10.5m vehicles this year.
EU car sales are expected to rise by almost 8% this year as semiconductor supply problems ease but will still be some 20% below 2019 pre-pandemic levels, said the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (Acea).
The association, which represents the 16 major Europe-based carmakers, said this would follow a 2.4% decline in 2021 due to a shortage of semiconductors, especially during the second half of last year.
