Inaugural Top 10 finish for the Aion UT, directly to 4th place.

Thanks to our local partner CE Auto we can share with you today exclusive data for Albania. August sales progress just +4.2% year-on-year, leading to a year-to-date volume up 90.9% to 9,206. BYD holds the top 2 spots in the models ranking again with the Yuan Plus (+225.7%) at 12.2% share and the Sealion 7 (+166.7%) at 12%. However the brand’s grip over the Albanian market is loosening, with only two additional models in the Top 10: the Sealion 06 at #6 and the Sealion 05 at #10. Instead, we have the grey import VW Tharu back inside the Top 10 at #3 and the Aion UT new at #4. Aion also places the i60 at #6 while Wuling has the Hongguang EV at #9 and the Yangguang at #11. Notice also the Farizon F1E pickup at #11.
