Sale of diesel cars in Germany is the biggest fallout

The sale of oil vehicles in Germany experienced a 25% drop in March, in the first month after the Federal Court allowed cities the right to ban cars with this kind of fuel on their streets.

The sale of oil vehicles in Germany has dropped since the beginning of the year, 17.6% in January and 19.5% in February, but March has shown that oil engines have begun to die slowly in Europe's largest oil automotive market.

German producers such as Volkswagen and Daimler have not helped promote new oil engines to stop this “exhalation”, so oil now has only 31.4% of the market, which once dominated it.

Fears of possible restrictions on the use of their cars and short shipments of vehicles with the new generation of Euro 6 gas engines will surely reflect on sale in the coming months, so the oil share is projected to drop to only 25%.

The decline in dysel sales in Germany has mostly hit foreign producers, above all, 25%-blown Volvo and Renault by minus 24%, while in the Premium class, the 13% dieting Audi was mostly affected.

The mass displacement from the diesel began after the Volkswagen suburb in the year, when the German giant admitted to cheating on the US gas emissions tests.

The scandal, which VW cost about 30 billion dollars worldwide, expanded throughout the automotive industry, and this caused major investments in electric automotive technology.
