“The New Year traditionally started with low sales,” said Thomas Stärzel, Chairman of the AEB Automobile Manufacturers Committee. – After three months of significant growth, the market is gradually shrinking since December 2020. We continue to expect sales to grow in February and March and will reach last year’s levels in the first quarter. The top five selling brands are showing relative stability. “
