In 2023, 475,000 new passenger cars were registered in Poland - 13.2% more than in 2022.
Better sales results were also recorded in vans, trucks, buses and motorbikes. Last year, sales of alternative-fuel passenger cars totalled 217,600 units, up 35.4% on the previous year. This is not only a result of changing consumer preferences, but also an opportunity for manufacturers and suppliers to adjust their offers even more to the growing interest of ecological solutions. According to a report by PZPM and KPMG in Poland "Automotive industry, Q1/2024 edition", the previous year was also a better one for automotive factories in Poland, which produced 612.9 thousand vehicles - 26.7% more than in 2022.

Higher results were last recorded in 2020 and before 2018. Of the total number of unicycles, 72% were motorbikes: 27,756 units. (+16.1% y/y) and it is these that determine the positive result of the entire group, with the record result achieved by them. Mopeds, on the other hand, came in at 10,861 (-4.8%). And just as motorbikes are breaking previous records, mopeds are becoming increasingly marginalised. Their result is the lowest since 2005 (the oldest available data).
