Volkswagen has three years in a row remained unchallenged first place in the group of rechargeable cars with model Passat GTE. In the past years the Mitsubishi one with the four-wheel drive suven Outlander.

Both models are red-hot among tjänstebilsåkarna. Outlander had a slump in 2016, but then came again when the ansiktslyfta version was launched. Last year, it was time for further polishing larger and more powerful engines and stronger battery with longer range.

the proper primer. Sales increased in both 2017 and 2018. The increase took even more momentum after the end of the year. So far this year, January-February, 952 new cars registered, a rise of 173 per cent from the corresponding period a year earlier.

During the same period plummeted VW Passat to only 55 cars, minus the 91 per cent.

Outlander is thus in a double direction, both year to date and year to date since 2012, when the first laddhybriderna com.

total management is key. It differs only 111 cars to the runner-up Passat GTE. The gap is however expected to grow strongly in the spring and summer. The explanation is that Volkswagen has sold out at 2019, the year cars and that the new, ansiktslyfta version with longer range does not begin to be delivered until september.

Marcus Thomasfolk, communications manager at Volkswagen, explains:

– the Current GTE is out of stock and we have already several thousand pre-orders on the new GTE. It will start to be delivered in the autumn. There is therefore a gap in the anticipation of it, ” he says.

the Question is how large deliveries of VW Sweden in the autumn, and if they are enough to regain the lead. It is not just the Outlander that increases.

the two plug-in hybrids rushing: Niro and the Optima. Volvo XC60 went well in the last year, but Volvo has now difficult to deliver plug-in hybrids at all.

recently even pure electric cars have taken good speed. The top sellers are the Nissan Leaf and Renault Zoe.

During the year, several exciting news, not least from BMW, which set a new sales record in the last year with over 140 000 sold electric cars and plug-in hybrids overall. Laddhybriden 330e, which is already now possible to order, get the range increased by 50 per cent to six miles. Late in the year will be the premiere of a laddbar version of the X3 and the next year, it will also in the execution as a pure electric car.
