- Category B: For non-fully electric cars with engines >1,600cc or >97kW (130bhp), and fully electric cars >110kW (147bhp). Larger and more powerful vehicles dominate this segment
- Category C: Represents commercial vehicles such as vans, lorries, and buses. Prices rose modestly, reflecting steady demand from logistics and delivery sectors.
