The share of purely electric cars sold in Romania could reach up to 68% of total sales in 2030, the president of the Association of Automobile Manufacturers and Importers (APIA), Dan Vardie, said on Thursday, at a event dedicated to sustainable mobility.

“If we talk about the development of electro-mobility in the industry, a possible scenario is that, in 2030, 68% of the total number of cars sold in Romania could be purely electric, 11% could be plug-in hybrids and somewhere up to 20% cars other than plug-in hybrids or electric cars. This matrix was made before some very important information regarding new decarbonization technologies appeared. Today, Europe is somewhere around 14-15% new electric cars of total registrations, in while Romania is at approximately 11%”, mentioned the head of APIA.

According to the APIA representative, the granting of eco-bonuses should tend to zero, until 2030.

The Association of Automobile Manufacturers and Importers (APIA) organized, on Thursday, the Sustainable Mobility Forum, which was attended by executives of mobility companies, representatives of the European Commission and the European Parliament, as well as the Government.

The AGERPRES National Press Agency is one of the event’s media partners.
