Car sales on the rise
New car registrations in Poland rose at their fastest pace in more than three years in March, Samar a sector analyst announced on Thursday.
Samar said sales of passenger cars and small trucks registered in March rose by 39 percent year-on-year to 39,861, after a 33-percent increase in February. March was the tenth consecutive month when new car sales rose in annual terms.
Some of the vehicles bought in Poland are re-exported, mainly to western Europe. Samar estimated that re-exports accounted for about 6 percent of March sales. The top-selling carmakers in Poland are Volkswagen and its subsidiary Skoda, along with Toyota, General Motors' Opel and Ford.
