EU sales momentum stretches into February

The European new car market maintained its momentum for yet another month as February sales rose 8% year-on-year, marking the sixth consecutive month of growth. ACEA data show a total of 861,058 cars registered last month. Despite the year-on-year growth, February's figures mark the second lowest result to date for a month of February since ACEA began the series in 2003 with the enlarged EU.
