Western Europe's diesel car share close to falling below 10% in June
Six of the 17 markets included in this analysis now have diesel shares below 5% while 11 have shares below 10%. Germany's diesel market remains more than twice as large as the second placed country (Italy) but is now starting to fall significantly, dipping below a 20% share in June and losing 20k units of diesel car sales versus June 2024.
A key underlying reason is of course the requirement to work towards meeting the stricter EU CO2 target which, though now averaged over the years 2025-2027, has precipitated an uptick in the region's plug-in market so far this year. To June, BEV sales across Europe are up 30%year-on-year.
After being broadly similar through 2023 and 2024, BEV sales have finally opened up a clear lead over diesel, spurred on by the changing EU CO2 regulatory framework. It seems unlikely that diesel could ever outsell BEV from this point forward.

Puzder confirmed as US ambassador to EU
Andrew Puzder, a former fast-food chain CEO, was confirmed by the Senate on Saturday as the U.S. ambassador to the European Union (EU). Puzder's confirmation went through in a 53-44 vote, with New Hampshire Sens. Maggie Hassan (D) and Jeanne Shaheen (D) crossing the aisle to vote with most Republicans in support of Puzder. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) voted against Puzder. 'CONFIRMED: @AndyPuzder as Representative of the United States of America to the European Union,' the White House said in a post on the social platform X Saturday. Trump picked Puzder as his selection for ambassador to the EU in January, praising him as steering fast-food chains like Carl's Jr. and Hardee's away from 'serious financial difficulty' and claimed that Puzder will 'do an excellent job' as ambassador. The president's selection of Puzder was the second time that Trump has tapped him for a top role in his administration, following the former restaurant chain executive withdrawing as nominee for Labor secretary during Trump's first term in the face of backlash from Republicans. In 2017, Puzder withdrew his nomination to lead the Labor Department prior to a confirmation hearing, with multiple Republican senators at the time seeming ready to oppose him amid allegations of past spousal abuse and his employment of an undocumented immigrant as a housekeeper. He denied the resurfaced allegations and his former wife retracted the claims.

Sporting midfielder Morten Hjulmand open to Juventus transfer
Sporting Lisbon central midfielder and skipper Mortjen Hjulmand has opened up to a potential transfer to Juventus and would be prepared for a return to Italy after two seasons in Portugal. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that after several contacts between the Bianconeri and the former Lecce holding-midfielder's entourage, Hjulmand has a reached an agreement in principle on a five-year contract until 2030. However, Juventus face a massive hurdle in attaining coach Igor Tudor's primary target in midfield as following the sale of star-forward Victor Gyokeres to Arsenal, the Portuguese giants have no intentions in making another sale of a significant player. As it stands, Sporting Lisbon would only let the 26-year-old depart for the lucrative release clause of €60m, a figure that is extremely difficult for Juventus to reach. Hence, Hjulmand has asked his agents to discuss with Sporting in order to convince the club to drop their asking price to a fee around the region of €40m. In the event that the Old Lady are unable to attain their primary target, Juventus have identified Tottenham's Yves Bissouma, Matt O'Riley of Brighton, and Fenerbache's Sofyan Amrabat.
