Andorra Vehicle Registrations Fall 2.9% in October as Truck Sales Drop

Vehicle registrations in Andorra fell 2.9% year-on-year in October, with 538 vehicles registered, according to data published on Monday by the Department of Statistics. The decline was driven by a sharp drop in trucks and vans, which fell 43.5%, while the "other" category plunged 63.2%.

The monthly figures were uneven across categories. Passenger cars rose 4.4%, to 400 units from 383 in October 2025, and motorcycles and mopeds increased 6.7%, to 96 from 90. Trucks and vans totaled 35, down from 62, and other vehicles fell to 7 from 19.

Of the 538 registrations recorded in October, 402 were new vehicles and 136 were imported from abroad.

The figures point to a broader shift in fuel preferences. Diesel registrations fell 34%, from 97 to 64, and vehicles without fuel dropped 60%, from 20 to 8. Plug-in petrol hybrids also declined 20.6%, from 34 to 27. By contrast, non-plug-in petrol hybrids jumped 28.2%, from 85 to 109, and fully electric vehicles rose 47.8%, from 23 to 34.

On a cumulative basis since January, the market remains in positive territory. Total registrations reached 4,839, up 7.8% compared with the 4,489 recorded in the first ten months of 2025 — an increase of 350 units. Passenger cars accounted for much of the growth, adding 290 units to reach 3,341 from 3,051, a rise of 9.5%. Motorcycles and mopeds rose by 87, or 10%, to 953 from 866. The "other" category edged up by one vehicle, from 126 to 127, a 0.8% gain.

Trucks and vans were the only category to post an annual decline, falling 6.3% with 28 fewer registrations, down to 418 from 446.

The cumulative fuel breakdown follows a similar pattern to the monthly data. Diesel vehicles declined 6.8% between January and October, from 784 to 731, and plug-in diesel hybrids fell 42.1%, from 19 to 11. Registrations of non-plug-in petrol hybrids climbed 27.8%, non-plug-in diesel hybrids rose 28.4%, and petrol vehicles increased 8.4%. Fully electric vehicles slipped 4.2% over the period, from 237 in the first ten months of 2025 to 227 this year.

Over the past twelve months, total registrations reached 5,802, up 8.7% from 5,339 in the preceding twelve-month period — an increase of 463 vehicles.
