Supply Issues Cause Hybrid Sales To Drop Over 17% In July - Diesel Sales Skyrocket Over 43%

Hybrid sales in July recovered from last month, gaining 54 percent compared to June—but difficulties with the supply chain have taken a toll on cumulative sales of gas-electric cars in 2011. In July, for the first time, the year-to-date sales have fallen behind 2010. This is troubling, considering that most analysts expected 2011 to be a turnaround year for hybrids, after two consecutive previous years of declining sales. The key question is if this year’s trend will be reversed once Japanese automakers and suppliers fully recover from the earthquake.
