Eastern European countries account for 21% of EU production in 2017
- The influence of Eastern European countries continues to increase within the European Union.
1. In terms of registrations, they account for 8.2% of all registrations (PC+LCV) of the European Union in 2017, compared to 7% in 2015 and 6% in 2010. This is the highest rate since the entry of these countries into the European Union. They will probably reach 10% of European registrations in the medium term, as their motorization rate is still lower than that of Western European countries.
2. In terms of production, these countries make up 21% of the total production (PC+LCV) of the European Union in 2017, compared to 20% in 2015, 19% in 2010 and 10% in 2005. This is the highest rate since the entry of these countries into the European Union. This rate is much higher than that for registrations, as Eastern European countries export many more vehicles than they import.
- The countries of Western Europe have indeed relocated to the countries of Eastern Europe for fifteen years. These include Renault Clio, Renault Twingo, Peugeot 208 or Citroën C3. In addition are the manufacturers who were not present in Europe, such as Hyundai and Kia. Finally, a range of new models has been developed in this region: the Dacia, the Skoda SUV, the Toyota-PSA and the VW-Seat-Skoda segment A, the Ford Ecosport and the Smart Forfour in particular.
