In the first nine months of the year, electric and hybrid cars in Turkiye held a dominant 52 percent share of the automotive market, according to a report released by the Anadolu Agency. This figure was based on industry data showing 326,035 units of electric and hybrid vehicles sold from January to September, representing 52 percent of the total market.
Overall car sales, however, dropped by 15.45 percent compared to the same period the previous year, with light commercial vehicles sales decreasing by 5.12 percent. The report attributed the decline in diesel car sales, which decreased by 40.7 percent, to manufacturers ending diesel automobile production, and rising global diesel prices.
Notably, sales of fully electric cars increased to 120,329, accounting for 19.3 percent of the market, while hybrid cars saw a 0.8 percent decline. In September alone, 15,128 electric cars were sold, marking a 17.1 percent increase compared to the same period last year, with a market share of 23.7 percent.
