Car registrations up by 10.62% y/y in August

The number of passenger cars and vans registered in Poland in September was 27,614, according to data from research firm Samar quoted by ISBnews. The figure was 10.62 percent higher than in September 2013 and 18.27 percent higher than in August 2014. In January-September there were 277,142 passenger cars and vans registered, demonstrating a growth of 14.38 percent year-on-year. September was the sixteenth consecutive months of car sales growth in annual terms, Samar said. The month-on-month increase may be partly attributed to a typically increased demand for cars after the summer vacation.
