Production on German soil: stability
- Unlike France, Germany has not conducted massive outsourcing.
It has now stabilized its production on its territory at a level close to where it was before the crisis of 2008/2009.
It could offset the European market weakness by exports outside Europe (where these exports have added sales from its local production), especially to China, USA and Russia.

- Worldwide production of German carmakers (PC + UV, more than 13 million vehicles), is in 3rd position behind that of Japanese carmakers (almost 20 million vehicles) and the United States (more than 14 million vehicles). It is just ahead of France (a little less than 12 million vehicles). It is, however, to be noted that this analysis is based on a consolidation of Chinese JV carmakers into quantities of traditional carmakers.
