Different countries show different preferences. When it comes to vehicle equipment, there are significant differences depending on which region of the world we’re looking at. This can also be seen on cars of various brands coming from America, Asia and Europe. American makes are primarily regarded as comfort-oriented and spacious. Asian manufacturers often display a penchant for electronic playfulness. And […]

French car brands have almost traditionally been very popular in Germany. Renault, for example, was the most successful imported brand for many years. And even today, it’s hard to imagine German roads without Twingo, Clio and the like. Why should this be any different with electric cars? On the contrary: Renault’s Zoe has been the most popular e-car in Germany […]

Perhaps the German government’s ambitious goal will come to fruition after all. Seven to ten million electric vehicles are to be on Germany’s roads by 2030. And last year was an auspicious start. Because 2020 will probably go down in history not only as the year of COVID, but also as the year in which electromobility finally really took off […]

Despite the growing volume of traffic, the number of fatalities and serious injuries is decreasing in many countries. For example, the number of road deaths in Germany has fallen.From over 100 per 100,000 cars per year since the 1970s to less than ten per 100,000 cars per year. This is due not only to restrictions imposed by legal regulations, but […]

SUVs have been selling extremely well for several years. Every third new registration in Germany is now a Sports Utility Vehicle. But hardly any other type of vehicle polarizes as much as the supposed off-roaders. Great overview, lots of space and very practical, say the supporters. And they increasingly prefer the high-wheeled models to the vans, which were still popular […]

The Corona pandemic and its consequences have shaken up the German car market. After the disastrous months of March and April, only about half the amount of new cars were registered in May 2020 compared to May 2019. JATO Dynamics has analysed whether the changes in registrations have had an impact on average CO2 emissions*. As a matter of fact […]
