Swiss auto market 2012: quasi record

The swiss auto market closed 2012 on a new benchmark: 328'139 passenger cars registered anew, a growth of 2.9% over an excellent 2011. The absolute record of 1989 with 335'094 registration is not far. Trends remain centered on the growth of diesel engines (37.0% vs. 32.9% of sales in 2011), all wheel drive cars (33.5% vs. 28.7% in 2011). The share of alternative powertrains is growing as well, but remains small in absolute terms (2.6%).
