FRANKFURT--German new car registrations fell 5.6% in October
from a year earlier, the federal motor vehicles office KBA said on
Wednesday, reversing September growth supported by private
buyers.
Commercial vehicles accounted for nearly two-thirds of October's
262,724 new registrations. The data follows a 9.4% rise in
September, which was fueled by private demand.
New registrations, a mirror of sales, were down for all German
brands. Volkswagen sales plunged almost 20% from the year-earlier
month, while Porsche dropped 13%.
Earlier Wednesday, French data showed a 4% drop in October
registrations, after a 2.5% rise in September and August's 6.7%
increase.
For 2016, German car manufacturer association VDA has forecast a
moderate gain. During the first 10 months of the year,
registrations rose 4.9% from the year-earlier period. Last year,
German new car sales jumped 9.3%.
European car-maker association ACEA will provide October
registration data for Europe on Nov. 17. In the first nine months,
European new car sales advanced 8% to 11.2 million vehicles.
