Production of Electric and Plug-In Hybrid vehicles in Europe in 2015
- Europe manufactured 177 438 Electric and Plug-In hybrid vehicles in 2015, compared to 140 493 in 2014 and 64 879 in 2013. Of these 177 438 vehicles manufactured in 2015 (+26.3% compared to 2014), 109 308 were 100% Electric vehicles (+8.2% compared to 2014) and 68 130 were Plug-In hybrids (+72.6% compared to 2014).
- Electric and Plug-In hybrid vehicles therefore account for approximately 1% of European automobile production, which is still a very marginal level. But their production has been growing constantly since 2010 and at a faster rate than overall automobile production.
- The most produced 100% Electric (BEV) models in Europe in 2015 were the BMW i3 (27 000 vehicles), Renault Zoe (19 000 vehicles), Volkswagen e-Golf (17 000 vehicles) and Nissan Leaf (15 000 vehicles).
- The most produced Plug-In hybrid vehicles (PHEV) in Europe in 2015 were the Volkswagen Golf GTE (17 000 vehicles), Audi A3 e-tron (12 500 vehicles), Volvo V60 (10 000 vehicles) and Mercedes C Class (5 000 vehicles).
- By brand Volkswagen is the European leader in Electric and Plug-In hybrid vehicles (42 000 vehicles), ahead of BMW (32 500 vehicles) and Renault (31 000 vehicles). By group, Volkswagen is once again the European leader (60 000 vehicles), ahead of Renault-Nissan (48 000 vehicles) and BMW (32 500 vehicles).

In which European countries are segments A, B, C, D, E and F manufactured ?
In which Euopean countries are segment A, B, C, D, E, and F cars manfactured?
- Segment A cars are those with low margins for their manufacturers. They are therefore produced essentially in low-cost countries in Eastern Europe: the Czech republic, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Turkey represent 73% of all segment A car production in Europe.
- Segment B cars are mostly produced in Western Europe: Spain, France, Germany, Great Britain and Italy represent 67% of the total production of segment B cars in Europe.
- Segment C cars are produced mostly in Western Europe: Germany takes the lead thanks to the VW Golf. Germany, Spain, Great Britain and France represent 72% of total segment C car production in Europe.
- Segment D cars have a high margin for manufacturers. They are produced mostly in Western Europe: Germany alone represents 65% of total segment D car production in Europe.
- Segment E cars have a high margin for manufacturers. They are produced mostly in Western Europe : Germany alone accounts for 58% of total segment E car production in Europe.
- Segment F cars have a high margin for manufacturers. They are produced mostly in Western Europe: Germany alone represents 57% of all segment F car production in Europe.

GM Korea has been weakened by the withdrawal of Chevrolet from Europe

GM Korea has been weakened by the withdrawal of Chevrolet from Europe
- GM Korea, the Korean subsidiary of the General-Motors group, used to produce most of the Chevrolet models sold in Europe. As Chevrolet's position gradually became too close to that of Opel (another subsidiary of the GM group), the two brands became caught in a price war with harmful consequences for the group as a whole. GM therefore decided in 2014 to withdraw Chevrolet from the European continent in order to put an end to this internal competition. As a consequence of this decision, GM Korea will produce almost 200 000 fewer vehicles each year compared to the period 2010-2013.
- In addition to this, the progressive transfer of the Opel Mokka from Korea to Spain will be only partially compensated for by the arrival of the Opel Karl on the assembly lines of GM Korea. At present, half of the Mokkas sold in Europe are still produced in Korea, but this proportion should fall over the next few years. In 2015, the Opels manufactured by GM Korea for the European market represented 25% of GM Korea's production (Mokka, Karl, Antara), but this proportion should shrink as more Mokkas are manufactured in Spain and as production of the Opel Antara ends (to be replaced by a model produced in Europe).
- The future of GM Korea therefore appears very uncertain, as it will no longer be able to count on the success of its models in the Korean market. Its two leading models are the Chevrolet Trax (an Opel Mokka with the Chevrolet logo) and the Chevrolet Spark (an Opel Karl with the Chevrolet logo) which represent almost half of production at GM Korea. Along with their Opel versions, these two models in fact represent 70% of production at GM Korea, which means that this production is very concentrated.

Top 100 Models by Global Production in 2015
The global ranking of the 100 most produced vehicles in 2015 (excluding heavy-weight vehicles) reveals that:
- These 100 models represent 42% of global automobile production.
- Of these 100 models, 60% are sedans, 27% are SUVs, 8% are pickup trucks and only 3% are MPVs.
- Vans and minivans do not appear in this ranking as none of them were among the 100 most produced vehicles in 2015. The same is true for sports cars.
- Of these 100 models, 44% are segment C, 22% are segment B, 21% are segment D, 10% are segment E and only 3% are segment A. No segment F cars figure in the top 100.
- The vehicles which do not appear in the top 100 are those produced at levels lower than 215 000 in 2015.
- The seven most produced vehicles in the world in 2015 were the Toyota Corolla (1 026 150 vehicles), the Volkswagen Golf (892 182), the Ford Focus (814 262), the Nissan Rogue (704 623), the Volkswagen Jetta (695 675), the Toyota RAV4 (661 844) and the Honda CRV (659 678), which works out to four sedans and three SUVs. These vehicles were the only ones to be produced at a level of 650 000 each in 2015. Among these are four models by the world's biggest manufacturers, Toyota and Volkswagen.

Top 100 Models by Production in the Mercosur Region in 2015
The ranking of the 100 most produced vehicles in the Mercosur region in 2015 (excluding heavy-weight vehicles) reveals that:
- These 100 models represent 100% of Mercosur automobile production, which means that production in this area is very concentrated.
- Of these 100 models, 70% are sedans, 14% are pickup trucks, 9% are SUVs, 5% are light utility vehicles and only 2% are MPVs. Pickup trucks therefore occupy a relatively important position in this region (on a global level, they do not exceed 8%).
- Of these 100 models, 67% are segment B, 19% are segment C, 13% are segment A, and the other segments (D-E-F) represent only 1% of production. Mid- and top-range vehicles are practically absent from the Mercosur area. It is a region of almost exclusively low-end production.
- The seven most produced vehicles in the Mercosur area in 2015 were: the Fiat Palio/Siena (223 327 vehicles), the Hyundai HB20 (173 573), the Volkswagen Golf (134 884), the Chevrolet Onix (125 931), the Ford Ka (123 838), the Volkswagen Fox (115 914) and the Fiat Strada (103 430), which works out to six sedans and one pickup truck. These vehicles were the only ones to be produced at a level of 100 000 each in 2015. Two belong to the FCA group and a further two to the VW group.
