“Traditional” hybrid cars saw almost 2,800-unit sales in January-October, up almost 60%.

“The data proves the rising interest of companies and individuals in Romania in such cars, which, properly supported with the development of the recharging infrastructure among others have become a growing presence on roads, contributing to the reduction of pollution in the big cities,” APIA says.

One of the driving factors of the growth was the EUR10,000 bonus for buying such a car.
