According to data from Mobility Global, in the first half of 2026, the global sales volume of new vehicle models powered solely by gasoline reached approximately 20.25 million units, marking a 10% year-on-year decrease and accounting for 49% of total new vehicle sales. This signifies a 3-percentage-point drop compared to the same period in the previous year and is notably lower than the 73% recorded in 2021. This is the first instance in the agency's records where the sales share of new vehicle models relying solely on gasoline has fallen below the 50% threshold.
