Opel and sister brand Vauxhall benefitted from the
timely and consistent preparation of the transition to the new WLTP
(Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) test cycle in
September: The brands achieved a combined passenger car and light
commercial vehicles market share of 7 percent (+ 0.8 percentage points
versus same month of 2017) in Europe in September[1]. This is the highest market share in an individual month since March 2016 and the highest September value since 2014.
“Seven percent Opel market share in Europe is a great result of which
we can be proud of. And our market share gains in Europe are broadly
based and above all achieved in the right and profitable channels. We
are benefitting from the fact that we have certified our portfolio
according to WLTP and Euro 6d-TEMP in good time. Whoever buys an Opel
now, can rely on the latest technology and gets peace of mind,” said
Xavier Duchemin, Managing Director Sales, Aftersales and Marketing, Opel
Automobile GmbH.
