Diesel fell to 36% of the European market in 2018

Diesel fell to 36% of the European market in 2018
- The dieselisation rate in the European passenger car market fell sharply again in 2018. It dropped from 45% in 2017 to 36% last year, while it was still at 50% in 2016 and the forecast for 2018 was 40%. It is therefore possible that this rate may fall to 30% in 2019.
- It should be recalled that the diesel rate reached its peak in 2011, just after the 2008-2009 financial crisis, with a rate of 56% of the European market, after having recorded a rate of 44% in 2003, 40% in 2002, 36% in 2001 and 32% in 2000.
- The current radical drop in demand (encouraged by the various European governments) continues to lead to a shift in the mix of engines manufactured for models sold in Europe, the most dieselised continent in the world. Manufacturers must gradually replace most of their diesel engine assembly lines with gasoline engine assembly lines.
- The transfer of diesel engines to hybrid or electric engines remains marginal (even if it is increasing every year), since they are only at 7.3% of the European market in 2018, of which 2% are electric.
- The transfer was/is therefore mainly made to petrol engines, which accounted for 56.7% of the European market in 2018 (compared with 50.3% in 2017). The most dieselized vehicles remain high-end sedans and large SUVs.

- The group, which remains China's leading manufacturer, maintains its thirteenth place in the world, behind BMW and Daimler, but is gradually moving closer to these two manufacturers. The Geely group's worldwide sales in 2018 can be broken down as follows:

3. The USA is its third largest market, with 100,000 vehicles (only Volvo vehicles), or 5% of its worldwide sales.

The global automotive market (PC+LCV ) by manufacturer in 2018
- 说明
The global automotive market (PC+LCV ) by manufacturer in 2018
- The global automotive market (passenger car and light commercial vehicle) declined by 0.3% in 2018, mainly due to the significant decline in the world's largest market, China. By manufacturer, the Renault-Nissan group (+1.4%) remains the world's leading manufacturer of light vehicles (PC+LCV ), ahead of the Volkswagen (+0.9%) and Toyota (+2%) groups. In 2018, these three manufacturers remained above the 10 million vehicles sold worldwide.
- The two American automakers GM and Ford each lost one million sales in 2018 and continue to lose influence globally. The million sales lost by GM is mainly due to the sale of its Opel/Vauxhall subsidiary to the PSA group. The PSA group (+6.8%) could have increased sales by one million (through the acquisition of Opel/Vauxhall) but its sales in Iran (-21.7%) were impacted by the severe economic sanctions imposed by the United States in 2018. The million sales lost by Ford is mainly due to a 50% drop in China.
- The ranking of the top 14 manufacturers remains the same in 2018 compared to 2017, but from 15th place onwards, there are several changes, particularly concerning Chinese brands which, victims of the overall decline in the Chinese market, are being out-distanced by the Indian group Tata Motors (+15.7%). It should be noted that BAIC (+10.0%) and SAIC (+20.0%) outperformed Chery and BYD (stable).
