PC+LCV production in Europe by engine
- European production reached 12.45 million PC+LCVs in 2021 compared to 12.97 million units in 2020, representing a 4% decrease year-on-year. Germany suffered particularly (-10%) but remains the leading producer country in Europe ahead of Spain and France. Poland (-10%), Slovenia (-16%) and Great Britain (-6%) also suffered, suffering from the shutdown of the Honda factory (Swindon) and Brexit, which increased prices. of its vehicles. By engine, internal combustion vehicles represented 10.60 million units produced in Europe in 2021 (85% of the total). BEVs accounted for 802,926 units (6.5%), PHEVs 766,849 units (6%) and HEVs 288,785 units (2.5%). These vehicles saw their production increase by 67% compared to 2020, while thermal vehicles saw their production fall by 10%. Inovev projects a steady increase in production of BEV+PHEV vehicles until at least 2030, with the volume expected to be 5 million units by then (Inovev's baseline scenario). The BEV+PHEV market should also represent 5 million units in Europe. It should be noted that in the reference scenario of Inovev, it is estimated that the number of exports of this type of vehicles to the outside should be comparable to that of imported vehicles of this type.
- In 2021, European exports of BEV+PHEV represented around 100,000 units (including 65,000 in the USA, 25,000 in Korea, 10,000 in Japan) while Europe imported around 400,000 units (including 200,000 from USA, 100,000 from China, 100,000 from Korea) but imports are expected to decline sharply with the start-up of the Tesla factory in Berlin, which will replace the American factory.
- Germany will remain the leading European producer of BEV +PHEV over the next few years. In Inovev's reference scenario, France will not produce 2 million electrified vehicles in 2030 (government target), but rather half.
