Indeed , the Arval Mobility Observatory recorded 39,025 light vehicle registrations in August 2021, down 22.63% compared to August 2019.
Regarding energies, “like every month, alternative engines in 2021 are leading the way compared to 2019, with still triple-digit growth in the business vehicle market,” notes the observatory. Indeed, it recorded 12,376 sales for hybrid light vehicles (+ 280%): 6,568 simple hybrid light vehicles (+ 149.8%) and 5,808 plug-in hybrid light vehicles (+ 829.3%). And finally, 4,428 electric light vehicles (+ 154.5%).
Conversely, registrations of combustion vehicles have significantly decreased compared to September 2019: – 32.5% for diesel (34,793 light vehicles) and – 23.4% for gasoline (12,941 units).
– 7.85% since January 2021
At the same time, over the first nine months of 2021, 600,931 company vehicles were registered with 354,720 VP (- 8.63%) and 246,211 LCV (- 6.7%), i.e. – 7, 85% compared to 2019, according to the Arval Mobility Observatory. And this, despite two additional working days over this period compared to 2019 (190 against 188). In addition, compared to the French automotive market as a whole, car registrations have fallen by 20.3% (1,260,378 units) since the start of 2021, according to data from the Automotive Platform (PFA). .

Thus, since the beginning of the year 2021, the market shares of light vehicles have been distributed at 58.35% for diesel, 19.65% for gasoline, 16.28% for hybrid, of which 8.42 % for the non-rechargeable hybrid and 7.86% for the rechargeable hybrid, and 4.83% for the electric.
Concerning the private vehicle segment only, the market shares are split as follows: 36.83% for diesel, 29.76% for gasoline, 26.28% for hybrid (including 13.16% for plug-in models and 13.11% for those not rechargeable), and 6.1% for the electric.
