French car sales drop 1.4 percent in February

Reuters

PARIS (Reuters) - French car sales fell 1.4 percent in February from a year earlier, ending a five-month rising trend, figures from the country's CCFA industry association showed.

The CCFA said registrations fell to 141,300 cars last month from 143,255 a year ago.

Sales of PSA Peugeot Citroen (PAR:UG) and Renault (PAR:RNO) rose 4.2 percent and 1.7 percent respectively, while sales of Volkswagen (VOWG.DE) cars fell 7.1 percent.

An increase in sales in January was the French market's fifth consecutive monthly advance - discounting a November dip attributable to the two fewer sales days in the month than a year earlier.
