Netherlands February 2015

Star of the Month (Again)

"GTE Superstar" 2nd Edition

After the sales surge occurred in January (2.516 units), the Dutch market is back to more normal numbers, with 1.412 units, which is still 20% above the same month last year, placing the EV Share at 4,80%, a great result that might mean that the 2013 high mark (5,55%) could be beaten this year. Fingers crossed...

After leaving the competition miles away in January (905 units vs 579 of the runner-up), the Golf GTE secured another Monthly Best Seller title, beating the competition with more modest numbers (+/- 400 units, only 100 units ahead), the Outlander PHEV and Volvo V60 Plug-In came in #2 and #3, respectively, while in #4 this February we have the GTE's premium cousin, the A3 e-Tron, also impressing with a record 201 units, while ending a very VAG-friendly February Top 5 ranking, we have the Porsche Cayenne Plug-In, its second consecutive #5 here.

Looking at the models ranking, the Audi A3 e-Tron jumps three positions to #4, while Smart drops to #6 (It's still the Best Selling BEV), and the just arrived Ford C-Max Energi surges to #12.


Final mention for the Nissan e-NV200, although with small numbers, it confirms the trend seen in other markets, with the Barcelona-built van surpassing the Kangoo ZE as the best-selling LCV of the market.
