MADRID, 2 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Registrations of passenger cars and SUVs in Spain stood at 813,396 units during 2022, which represents a decrease of 5.4% compared to the figures for 2021 and means falling short of the forecasts of 830,000 units at the end of the year.

According to data from the associations of manufacturers (Anfac), dealers (Faconauto) and sellers (Ganvam), this decrease compared to the estimates of 830,000 units is explained by the drop in sales experienced in December, due to transport problems of vehicles to dealers, which has caused "thousands of vehicles" to remain stopped in ports and fields, delaying their delivery to customers.

In December, car sales in Spain reached a volume of 73,927 units, which translates into a significant drop of 14.1% in comparison with the last month of last year.
