October 2, Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>Belarusian dealers sold 9,700 new cars in September, down 5 percent from August but up 72 percent year on year, the Belarusian Automobile Association (BAA) said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decline does not indicate a reversal of the market trend, as sales volume remains significantly higher than last year, the BAA said, following reports that August was the best month for Belarus\u2019 new-car market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The electric vehicle segment posted the sharpest month-on-month decline, falling 13 percent to 3,300 cars sold in September. Experts attributed the decline to the expiration of quotas for duty-free EV imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demand for electric cars remains high, the BAA noted, as vehicles up to five years old imported into Belarus remain exempt from VAT, while recycling fees are significantly lower than those for cars with internal combustion engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BELGEE X50+, manufactured by the Belarusian-Chinese\u00a0company\u00a0outside Minsk, remained the best-selling model for the third month in a row. The Geely EX3 was the top-selling electric vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
