Data from the Norwegian Road Federation shows that Chinese-brand cars accounted for 22.5% of Norway's new passenger car registrations in October, setting a new single-month high. That month, 3,534 Chinese-brand vehicles were registered, a sharp increase from 1,879 in the same period last year and surpassing the previous record of 22.1% set in July. By brand, XPeng registered 932 vehicles, ranking fifth among all brands; BYD registered 816; and Changan rose from 15 vehicles in the same period last year to 339. The head of the federation said Chinese brands have quickly become a fixture in the Norwegian market. Norway registered 15,725 new passenger cars in October, up 41.2% year on year—the highest for the month in more than 30 years—with pure electric vehicles accounting for 98.8%.
