From Mobility Sweden, the trade association of the car makers and importers in Sweden, which publishes the new registrations of every month from the national vehicle register. A registration is the day a new car gets its Swedish number plate, which is close to, but not the same as, the day it was sold.
On the first working day of each month, for the month before, usually in the morning, Swedish time. This page updates by itself when they are out.
