- European production of light utility vehicles is gradually returning to its pre-crisis levels, driven by strong sales in Europe
(+ 11.6% in 2015 compared to 2014 and +12.6% in first half 2016 compared to first half of 2015) and a small increase in export sales.

- The volume of production recorded in 2015 (2 million vehicles) will be overpassed in 2016 and could reach 2.2 million units, the figure reached in 2007 that was the largest in history.

- This increase in production volume (1.3 million units in 2009 to 1.7 million units in 2013), follows the crisis years (during which European production of light utility vehicles plunged as a consequence of the fall of orders from companies,main customers of this type of vehicle). Inovev plans  that the LUV European production will grow moderately from now to  2020, to reach almost 2.3 million units at this time.

- By brand, Ford is the leader in 2015 (382,000 units), ahead of Renault (264,000), Mercedes (255,000) and Fiat (248,000).
But by group, PSA is leading (384,000 units) before Ford (382,000) and Renault-Nissan (354,000).

- By model, the Mercedes Sprinter is the leader in 2015 (138 000 units), ahead of Fiat Ducato (118,000) Ford Transit Custom (109,000) Ford Transit (100,000) and Renault Trafic (93,000).
