HAMBURG (Reuters) - New car registrations in Germany fell 30 percent in September year-on-year, a source told Reuters on Tuesday, as manufacturers struggled to adjust to the new WLTP emissions testing regime.

The source said 200,000 cars were newly registered in September.

German car authority KBA was due to publish its official September registrations data later on Tuesday.
