New car sales in the European Union plummeted last year by a record 23.7 percent, according to the European Association of Automobile Manufacturers.

It is noted that the coronavirus pandemic and quarantine restrictions have dealt an unprecedented blow to car sales in the European Union. The nine million new vehicles were registered in the region. It was the largest drop in demand and the worst result in the history of market monitoring. Compared to 2019, the number of new car registrations has decreased by three million.
