Commercialvehicle production also dropped by almost 10%. Overall,production remains far below pre-pandemic levels. Global car sales experienced a 2.7% increase lastyear, with Europe’s market share slightly rising tonearly 22%. EU car sales continued their ascendingtrend, with battery-electric models seeing their marketshare shrinking for the first time. Commercial vehicleregistrations followed a similar trend, with electric vansand trucks remaining stagnant. Only buses sustainedmomentum, nearly doubling their share since 2021. ACEA’s Pocket Guide is the must-have resource forthe latest intelligence on the automotive industry andmarket, updated annually. Following last year’s ambitionto provide insight on the electric vehicle (EV) uptake,we have added a new chapter on infrastructure. Thenew edition paints a revealing picture for our industryas concerns about competitiveness rise in the contextof an increasingly unpredictable trade environment. We have brought around 290 electrically-chargeablemodels to the EU market today, but the share of vehicleson Europe’s roads with a plug remains markedly low,underscoring the need for more robust measures tostimulate the market and replace older vehicles. Whilemost EU governments offer some form of incentive ortax scheme for EV buyers, less than half offer incentivesfor building charging infrastructure. With an average offive battery-electric cars per recharging point in the EU,three countries – France, Germany, and the Netherlands –account for almost 60% of all EU public recharging points. Despite these challenges, our industry continues to leadthe way in R&D investment, with a sizeable €85 billionspent in 2023. Not only is that €12 billion more than thepreceding year, but it’s double the amount invested bythe next biggest sectoral investor – a demonstration ofour commitment to delivering on zero-emission roadtransport while keeping Europe a technology leader. EU car production slowed in 2024, reaching 11.5 millionvehicles – approximately 750,000 fewer than in the previousyear – a worrying signal as Europe struggles to maintain In 2024, the EU experienced a notable decline in both thevalue and volume of vehicle trade. Despite this, the valueof EU vehicle exports exceeded imports, resulting in a trade surplus of €94 billion for the European economy. The USand the UK remain the top two destinations in both unitsand value, underscoring the importance of safeguardingsmooth trade with our top two partners. Türkiye is alsobecoming an increasingly important trade partner, notonly for imports but also as an attractive export market. The upcoming Strategic Dialogue meetings with EU leaderswill be a game-changer in ensuring that the right conditionsare in place to maintain our industry’s competitiveness, whiledelivering on climate goals. Whether it’s trade, investment,road safety, employment, or beyond, our industry touchesmany facets of our everyday lives, keeping businessesand society on the move. Amongst the flux in the world,our ambition remains the same: ACEA’s Pocket Guidecontinues to act as a reliable and trustworthy resourcein guiding both law makers and industry on the road toa more competitive and sustainable shared future. The EU also continues to lead the way in global roadsafety, with road fatalities decreasing by 1.3% comparedto the previous period, with drops recorded in 16 memberstates. Our industry’s continued investment in vehicleautomation and safety will bring further road safetybenefits as newer models hit the road. The sector alsomade strides in improving our environmental footprint.CO2 production emissions per vehicle hit new lowsand have now fallen by a significant 53% since 2005.Production water usage per vehicle also sank, havingnow fallen by more than 54% for the same period. The ACEA Pocket Guide underlines why it is so important toensure critical industries like ours are allowed to thrive byinvesting and trading freely. A holistic and coordinated industrialstrategy that exceeds other regions’ ambitions and puts inplace the right conditions for competitiveness matters. While there are some positive takeaways from thisyear’s edition, the challenges our industry faces areunprecedented. Not only do we face an electric vehiclemarket struggling to progress as expected, but alsoa ‘perfect storm’ of fierce competition, soaring tradetensions, rising business costs, and a complex EUregulatory framework. The ACEA Pocket Guide emphasisesthe importance of ensuring that critical industries thriveby allowing for investment and trade to occur freely.
