Definitions & scope

Acquisition	File — downloaded as a data file (XLSX / Parquet / ODS / zip)
Vehicle scope	Whole = voitures particulières neuves (EU M1) — SUVs included; pickups, vans (N1), trucks (N2/N3) and buses (M2/M3) are separate categories (future variants).
HEV (full hybrids)	split into its own column
Backfill	Full énergie split monthly back to 2011-01 (the former ACEA series was BEV/PHEV-only and quarterly-interpolated before ~2025). Previous series parked as data/France_legacy.csv.
Auth	none

Variants

Each variant is its own series with its own CSV. Not every variant is charted in the gallery — the CSV is the authoritative record either way.

Variant	What it counts	Held	Raw data
Whole	New passenger cars (voitures particulières, EU M1) with the full énergie split incl. a real HEV column, monthly from 2011-01.	2011-01 – 2026-08 188 rows	`data/France.csv`

History we hold

Every bar is the span actually present in our stored CSV — breaks in a bar are real gaps in the series, not rendering. Cadence is shown on the right.

Which fuel columns this source fills

A blank column almost never means "no such cars" — it means this source does not split them out, and those vehicles are counted inside another column. Check the caveats for where they land.

reported column exists but is zero in every row not reported by this source. Hover a cell for the row count.

Caveats

Raw (non-seasonally-adjusted) counts. The SDES/Insee CVS-CJO headline is seasonally & working-day adjusted and reads lower (e.g. June 2026 188 482 brut vs 142 100 CVS-CJO) — compare only against other raw figures.
vs the former ACEA rows there is a one-time per-fuel definitional step (HEV −3% / PETROL +3.5% / OTHERS +12%) — SDES counts 48V mild-hybrids as pure petrol (not HEV) and its "Gaz & ND" carries a not-yet-coded bucket. The headline BEV share is essentially unchanged vs ACEA — a few tenths of a pp with no consistent direction (see §3g).
The média download id rotates each publication; the fetcher download-and-verifies the current file from the monthly "Motorisations des véhicules légers neufs" publication (the parser is the arbiter, not the link label).
