Linda Jackson told an interesting trend in the market
Sales of diesel cars may never return to their previous levels, especially if customers who order fleets follow private customers who drove diesel for gasoline engines last year.
This is the forecast of Citroen CEO Linda Jackson, who gave the sales of the new C3 Aircross for example - the model debuts in October and 75% of its sales are on versions with modern gasoline turbo motors.
"Private customers mainly order gasoline-powered cars," Jackson explained to Autocar magazine. - If this trend is maintained for fleet orders, diesel will not be able to regain market positions. There must be something dramatic in the market to increase their diesel market share. "
2017 marked a serious decline in sales of diesel cars in Europe and analysts see no chance this will change in the near future. And major automakers are increasingly relying on electrification of models they offer, as soon expected launch of whole model families electric and plug-in hybrids in the ranges of automotive companies are becoming more.
