New car sales in Australia have reached record levels, eclipsing the previous highest sales result in 2017. But while the automotive industry welcomes the record-breaking sales, it's expecting a more subdued market this year.
Key Points
- Over 1.2 million new vehicles [[1,216,780]] were delivered last year.
- Sales of electric vehicles more than doubled in 2023 to reach 7.2 per cent of new car deliveries, up from 3.1 per cent in 2022.
- As Australia looks to its 2030 emission reduction targets, there's pressure on the Albanese government to make good on a promise to introduce laws that will encourage carmakers to produce cleaner vehicles.
