Europe Car Sales Rise in November on Budget EV Demand

New-car registrations in Europe ticked up for a fifth straight month in November, putting the region on course for a third year of gains led by growth across electrified models.

Buyers registered 2.4% more vehicles from a year earlier, bringing sales for the month to 1.08 million, the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association said Tuesday. Spain and Germany recorded the biggest gains among major markets, while Italy stagnated. France and the UK posted slight declines.
