This month, 674 new buses were brought to the Ukrainian market, which are a quarter cheaper than last year — the price difference is 24%. The used car sector from China fell much more noticeably: only 145 units versus 467 in January 2024, a decrease of 69%. Notably, 82% of all imports from China are electric cars. Chinese brands are increasingly strengthening their position in the eco-friendly transport segment in our country, despite a general decline in interest in them.
