The European light vehicle market is expected to increase very slightly in 2023
31 January 2023
- The European market (European Union + Great Britain + Switzerland + Norway) for light vehicles (passenger cars and utility vehicles) fell for the third consecutive time in 2022 (-6% compared to 2021) to 12.9 million units. But is this market fated to decline again in 2023? Inovev has established three forecast scenarios for 2023: A low scenario in which the market is almost stable (-0.7%), a reference scenario with a very slight increase of the market (+1%) and a high scenario with a significant increase of 4%.

- It can be observed that the very poor situation in the first half of 2022 (compared to the first half of 2021) has greatly improved in the second half. The recovery started in August (+3.4%) and amplified in September (+7.9%), in October (+14%), in November (+17.6%) and in December (+ 14.7%).

- Basically the dynamics of the market should not change drastically in 2023 compared to 2022, given the economic and political environment which should not evolve strongly this year. We should therefore be able to reach a volume of slightly more than 13 million units in our reference scenario. A figure still far from the 17.3 million reached in 2019. More significan market growth could however occur from 2024 with an expected increase of 5 to 6%.

- Regarding sales of xEVs in Europe, Inovev estimates that for 2022 around 1.4 million BEVs have been sold as well as 930,000 PHEVs and 920,000 HEVs and finally 1.4 million MHEVs. Total sales of xEVs in Europe therefore reached nearly 5 million units in 2022, or 45% of the European passenger car market compared to 41% in 2021, which suggests that we could reach the 50% mark in 2023.

The Toyota Yaris Cross is the most produced car in France in 2022
31 January 2023
- The Toyota Yaris Cross becomes the most produced car in France in 2022, ahead of the Peugeot 3008 by only 2,342 units. The "crossover" version of the Yaris launched in 2021 recorded a volume of 161,508 units produced on French soil in 2022, compared to 159,166 units for the Peugeot 3008 and 107,405 units for the new generation of the Peugeot 308.

- The Toyota Yaris (sedan) on its side is now mainly produced on the Czech site of Kolin belonging to the Japanese carmaker. Nevertheless, part of the production of the sedan is still made on the Onnaing site. The distribution of production between the two sites is decided according to the trims and the destination markets. In any case, the Onnaing plant does not have enough production capacity to produce both the Yaris and the Yaris Cross in full. Moreover, with the end of production last year of the Citroën C1 and Peugeot 108 at Toyota's Kolin site (vehicles based on the same design as the Toyota Aygo), more than half of the production capacity of the Czech site was available. Today, therefore, the Czech site produces both the Toyota Yaris sedan and the Toyota Aygo, which has become Aygo X since its renewal last year.

- As a result, the production volume in France of the Toyota Yaris sedan in 2022 is lower than that of the Opel Mokka produced at the French site of Poissy. The Opel Mokka could actually enter the top 3 of vehicles produced in France next year.

- We can note the absence of Renault models in this list, but the carmaker's high-volume models are all produced outside France: Clio in Turkey and Slovenia, Captur and Mégane in Spain, Twingo in Slovenia, Arkana in South Korea South.
