The total sales are now back to (even above) the high rate achieved in mid 2006 when Volvo Cars temporarily more or less killed the Swedish NGV market via the announcement of their intention to discontinue sales of their Bi-Fuel cars.
Sweden at the end of 2008 had just under 17.000 NGVs and the Swedish NGV sales in June ran at an annual rate of 8.700 vehicles. Sales of new NGVs are now accelerating and may soon reach about 800 units monthly, corresponding with an annual sales rate of close to 10.000 vehicles.
