Results were diverse among different vehicle categories. On the one hand, registrations of both new electrically chargeable (ECV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) continued their positive momentum, posting double-digit percentage gains during the last quarter (+20.2% and +29.2% respectively). Growth in the ECV segment was particularly supported by plug-in electric cars (+26.4%), which represent more than half of total ECV registrations. On the other hand, demand for cars powered by propane, ethanol or natural gas (NGV) fell by 26.2% to 34,384 units during Q3 2016, following the trend of the first and second quarter. The main reason for this has been a contraction of the Italian market, which accounts for the majority of these vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>full details and source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.acea.be\/press-releases\/article\/alternative-fuel-vehicle-registrations-7.0-in-third-quarter-of-2016\">http:\/\/www.acea.be\/press-releases\/article\/alternative-fuel-vehicle-registrations-7.0-in-third-quarter-of-2016<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brussels, 28 October 2016 \u2013 In the third quarter of 2016, demand for alternative fuel vehicles in the EU grew (+7.0%), totalling 137,423 units.
