Germany’s growth streak continues
More cars were registered on German roads in 2017 than in any year this decade, as sales continued a long-running growth streak, government and industry figures showed on Thursday. New registrations grew 2.7 percent year-on-year to some 3.4 million vehicles, according to data from the Federation of the Automotive Industry (VDA) and the KBA vehicle licensing authority. “The German auto market grew last year for the fourth year in a row and reached its highest volume this decade,” VDA chief Matthias Wissmann said.
