Unlike Ukraine, in January 2015 new car sales in America grew significantly. Moreover, if in previous years Americans were looking at something relatively economical, now they rushed to buy 'gas guzzlers'.
In particular, Americans again began to actively buy full-size SUVs and pickups. Analysts attribute this to a significant drop in fuel prices. According to The Wall Street Journal, new car sales in the US grew by almost 14%.
And if manufacturers of fuel-thirsty cars are happy with this situation, then manufacturers of hybrid and electric cars, on the contrary, are saddened by the changes in the market. After all, as January showed, demand for eco-friendly cars in America has declined.
