Only in June, with 24,477, did more new passenger cars appear on the roads within one calendar month. One positive development this year is the strong growth in the proportion of alternative drive systems.
At 35.5 percent, more than one in three new passenger cars in November was equipped with hybrid, electric, gas or fuel cell drive systems. Since the beginning of the year, their market share is 26.1 percent, of which 12.7 percent is accounted for by plug-in vehicles, i.e. fully electric models or plug-in hybrids.

A study commissioned by auto-schweiz from the gfs.bern pollsters also shows that the market potential of alternative drives has not yet been exhausted. According to the study, 62 percent of the Swiss can imagine buying a car with a new drive system.
