- Despite a significant increase in the volume of vehicles produced (PC + LCV) in Germany in recent years, German manufacturers (Volkswagen, BMW and Daimler groups) locally produced proportionally less in 2013 compared to 2005. In 2013, German manufacturers thus produced 33% of their vehicles in Germany against 50% in 2005.

- Although production levels in Germany are important, their share has declined over recent years, partly because the capacities of the country are close to saturation. The Volkswagen Group produced 26% of its vehicles in Germany against 40% in 2005, the BMW Group 55% against 65% in 2005 and the Daimler Group 61% as against 75% in 2005.

- The proportion of vehicles manufactured in Germany will further decrease depending on the growth of the Chinese market and depending on the construction of plants outside Germany. The countries or regions where German manufacturers relocate to are primarily China (25% of world production of German manufacturers), the European Union other than Germany (20% of world production of German manufacturers) and North America (10 % of world production of German manufacturers). These three countries or regions represent 55% of the world production of German manufacturers while in 2005 this figure did not exceed 40% of their world production.
