Sales of new cars in
Germany rose 5 to 6 per cent to 275,000 cars in September, showing no notable
effect from the emissions scandal at Volkswagen, an industry source told on
Friday.
The full impact of the
scandal is expected to be reflected in car sales data only in October or
November as some time usually passes between customers making the decision to
purchase a car and a new vehicle being registered.
Year-to-date, about 2.4
million vehicles have been registered in Germany, which is also a rise of 5 to
6 per cent, the person said, adding September's growth was driven mainly by
fleet investments rather than private purchases.
