In 2020, Germany is the country that bought the most vehicles produced locally
- In 2020, in a European light vehicle market (PC + LUV) which fell to 13.74 million units, against 17.98 million in 2019 (due to the health crisis), nearly 71% of vehicles sold were produced within the same region. It means that 9.74 million light vehicles have been produced in European countries and sold in European countries.
- Imports therefore represent less than 4 million units, if we consider that stocks of vehicles at the end of the year were lower than at the beginning of the year, because sales in 2020 were spread over 12 months while the plants were closed because of the Covid-19 for a month and a half, in addition to the summer holidays. Inovev estimates the volume of these imports at around 3.5 million units, compared to 4.2 million in 2019 according to ACEA (representing a decrease of 17%). The countries from which Europe imports vehicles are mainly Turkey, Japan, South Korea and USA, again according to ACEA.
- Among the top 10 European markets in 2020, Germany is the country that buys the most locally produced vehicles (35% of its registrations). Its imports from other European countries account for 49% of its registrations and those from other regions of the world 16% of its registrations.
- The other countries stand out with a very low proportion of vehicles purchases locally produced: 22% in Spain, 21% in France, 16% in Italy, 10% in England, 3% in Belgium and even 1% in Poland. Only the Czech Republic stands out with 39% registrations from local production.
