The March figure underscores a strong rebound in activity in the German auto market on a month-over-month basis. While February’s 8.9% rise already signaled improving momentum versus the prior month, the leap to 39.2% in March indicates a significantly stronger uptick in new vehicle demand or deliveries over that period. The data compare each month’s change to the immediately preceding month, highlighting the scale of the acceleration heading into the spring.
