China registers decline in new car sales for second straight month

The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers says 2.262 million units were sold last month. That is a year-on-year decline of 5.2 percent, reported NHK World Japan.

The organisation attributed the decline to 10.1 percent drop in domestic sales.

On the other hand, sales of new-energy vehicles, including electric models, rose 27 percent. As a result, they accounted for 43.8 percent of all units sold, reported NHK World Japan.
