Vehicle Sales Up 24% Amid Rising Demand for EVs

Member of the Board of Directors of the General Jordanian Car Distributors Association, Mohammad Shaheen, announced a significant 23.87% increase in vehicle sales last month, compared to the overall average. Shaheen highlighted that the Zarqa Free Zone recorded the sale of 3,033 vehicles, while 1,074 were sold through agencies, totaling 4,107 vehicles. He attributed this surge in demand to price stability and the recent regulatory adjustments for importing electric vehicles (EVs), which have seen a notable rise in sales. EVs dominated the market, with 3,076 units sold, representing 75.5% of total sales, and experiencing a 26.44% growth rate compared to the annual average.
