KIEV, Jan. 12 - Vehicle sales in Ukraine in 2010 (new and used passenger cars, trucks and buses) came to 227,600 vehicles, which is almost 10% up on 2009.

According to Ukrautoprom association, sales of passenger cars fell by 1.4% compared to 2009, which is mainly linked to a fall in primary sales of imported used cars (first registration in Ukraine). If in 2009, primary sales of imported used cars exceeded 5,000 vehicles, last year it stood at 3,200.
