The number of new passenger cars and vans registered in Poland in August amounted to 23,348 and was 6.5 percent higher than in August 2013, according to data from sector research firm Samar quoted by the Polish Press Agency. In month-on-month terms the figure grew by 21.2 percent. In January-August 2013 the number of new cars and vans registered in Poland was 249,528. It grew by 14.8 percent compared with the corresponding period of 2013. The figure may signal an upcoming rebound after a period of smaller sales in the second quarter of this year, Samar said.
