(Alliance News) - Registrations of new cars fell by 1.0% last month, figures showed Wednesday.
Industry body the Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders said 84,054 new cars were registered in the UK in February.
That compares with 84,886 during the same month last year.
The fall was driven by a 17% drop in deliveries of petrol cars.
There was a 42% increase in the uptake of pure battery electric cars, resulting in a market share of 25%.
