Beijing's stimulus measures and COVID-19 containment measures have helped the country's leading car production provinces—Shaanxi, Zhejiang, Shandong, Jilin, and Liaoning—to increase production in April by more than 20 percent compared to the same month one year ago. Car sales increased to 1.9 million units, which while representing zero growth from on year ago, it also marks the first time since July 2018 that car sales did not decline and brings sales within reach of the 2.2 million unit monthly average recorded since 2014.

  • While the impact of COVID-19 on China's auto industry was dramatic—car sales decreased 80 percent in February and 46 percent in March on a year-over-year basis—the general sales slump pre-dates COVID-19. Sales decreased by 8 percent in 2019, and 3 percent in 2018.

World's Safest Vehicles of 2017

CO2 Emissions of Newly Registered Cars in Europe

Information that EU member states submit annually per Regulation (EC) No 443/2009 to the European Commission and onward to the European Environment Agency (EEA) on newly registered passenger cars provide a unique opportunity to analyze CO2 emissions. The data reveal thought-provoking trends from the perspective of purchasing patterns of lowest to highest emission cars and the corresponding potential contribution of each make and model to air pollution. Premium-class sport cars are the ‘dirtiest’ based on CO2 emissions, with Bugatti vehicles—each emitting more than half a kilogram...

Auto dealerships purchase cars direct from manufacturers to resell to final consumers. But, vehicles may spend days, weeks, and even months in some cases in dealers' inventories before being purchased by the ultimate owner.

In 2016, Subarus were the quickest sold automobiles in the world: dealers required an average of 27 days to sell a Subaru, according to Edmunds.Cars produced by Toyota, Honda, and...
