According to the data released by JATO Dynamics, Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrids (PHEV) outsold diesel vehicles for the first time in Europe in August 2021.
The combined market share of BEVs and PHEVs rose to 21% with 1,51,737 deliveries, while that of Diesel vehicles was 20% (1,41,635 units).
The popularity of diesel vehicles has taken a hit in Europe following the VW emissions scandal. Customers are slowly moving to BEVs and PHEVs and as a result, the market share of petrol vehicles is also dropping.
