Chinese automakers once again recorded a record share in the European car market last month, attracting buyers who are still wary of pure electric vehicles with more affordable hybrid cars. According to Dataforce data, in August, brands such as BYD accounted for nearly 12% of total sales of new cars in the region. These brands account for a quarter of all hybrid vehicle sales and a third of plug-in hybrid vehicle sales.
