New car registrations: +4.3% in June 2024; battery electric 14.4% market share

According to ACEA in June 2024, EU car registrations increased by 4.3%, driven by gains in three out of the region’s four major markets: Italy (+15.1%), Germany (+6.1%), and Spain (+2.2%). In contrast, France saw a decline of 4.8% last month.
In the first half of 2024, new car registrations increased by 4.5%, reaching nearly 5.7 million units. However, registration volumes remain relatively low (-18%) compared to pre-pandemic levels. The bloc's largest markets all showed positive but modest performance, with Spain (+5.9%), Germany (+5.4%), Italy (+5.4%), and France (+2.8%) all recording growth.

Overview of current registrations

The Polish Automotive Industry Association, in cooperation with Toyota Central Europe and the Provincial Headquarters of the State Fire Service, organized another, this time a 2-day training course for PSP rescue units, dedicated to safety during rescue operations involving vehicles with alternative propulsion systems.
Heads of training departments in the State Fire Service from all over Poland have been invited to the workshop. They will pass on the knowledge they gained within the structures of the State Fire Service.
The training took place at the Toyota Training Center in Warsaw.
During the practical part, in the service hall, the Firefighters were able to “touch” and take a close look at the hybrid, electric and hydrogen cars specially provided for this purpose.
Some of the Firefighters participated in this type of training for the first time, and most of them had their first experience of building a hydrogen car.
Many thanks to the trainers from Toyota Central Europe - Poland for the professional and interesting training, and for creating a pleasant and friendly atmosphere.
The training met with great interest on the part of the firefighters, who took an active part in it. Despite the fact that they already have considerable knowledge of how to deal with collisions involving battery cars, they are eager to take advantage of the opportunity for further training. What surprises them is that even within one brand Manufacturers use different solutions, which does not make it easier for firefighters during action.
We are glad that the topic of road safety is important to our member companies!!!
