Gas cars fall below half of global new car sales
Original: Gas cars fall below 50% of global new car sales for the first time
For the first time, vehicles powered solely by gasoline have dropped below 50% of global new car sales, a milestone in the shift toward electrified transport. Electric and hybrid vehicles now account for more than half of new cars sold worldwide, reflecting rapid EV adoption, particularly in China and Europe. Analysts view the crossover as a symbolic turning point for the auto industry's transition away from combustion engines.
Why now: The electrified share of new car sales crossing the symbolic 50% threshold marks a historic shift in the global auto market.
