January is stronger than expected in the car market: the trams once again broke a record - voila! vehicle. About 38,300 new cars were delivered last month, a drop of about 25% from January 2023, but higher than early estimates due to the war.

A weak month for the old luxury models, strong for the Chinese models. Skoda was the only European brand in the top ten, alongside 3 Japanese, 3 Chinese and two Koreans. Deliveries of electric cars reached a new high: in January 8,840 new electric cars hit Israel's roads, achieving a market share of 23%. According to the data of the Licensing Office, about 99,000 100% battery-powered cars are currently driving in Israel.
