Danish car sales increase in the Nordics alone for the second month in a row

For the second month in a row, Danish car sales are increasing in the Nordic region. In both Norway and Sweden, sales are declining, figures from Mobility Denmark show.

Not much progress was made. But in July, Danish car sales rose slightly. It was a mere 2.5 percent.

In fact, the Danish market is the only one in the Nordics where sales of new passenger cars are progressing.

This is shown by figures from Mobility Denmark – the former De Danske Bilimportorer.

Conversely, car sales in Sweden fell by 7.2 percent, while the Norwegians really held back and bought 14.2 fewer cars than in the same period last year.

The best-selling car in the month of Christmas was the Volkswagen ID.4. This is how it looked in both Denmark and Norway. While the Swedes prefer the somewhat older plug-in hybrid Volvo XC60.

Sweden is also the only country in Scandinavia where the share of half electric cars has decreased compared to just a year ago. In July 2023, 38 percent of new cars in Sweden run on electricity. A year later, the proportion is down to 33.8 percent.

However, these are small things compared to the decline in Europe's largest car market. In Germany, car buyers turned away from electric cars for the 7th month in a row.

In fact, the month of July made up for another collapse in the sales of the car type, which in December 2023 had the state subsidy removed with immediate effect in the large country.

Developments in Denmark's immediate neighboring countries also cause Mobility Denmark to shake a bit. In any case, director Mads Rorvig fears that the support for electric cars will disappear.

– Where Norway is very successful, and gradually very few new cars every month that do not run on electricity, electric car sales in Sweden are more challenged because several incentives have been removed too early.

– It is important that politicians keep this in mind when policy is made in the area of electric cars here at home, says Mads Rorvig in a press release .

The success that the director talks about in Norway is, however, partly artificially created by tax benefits and other perks for electric drivers. However, some of these advantages are already disappearing again. Read more about it here .
