In December 2024, the passenger car sales in the European Union increased year-on-year at a rate of 5.1 percent. Customers in the whole European market purchased around 1.09 million units in total. At some 224,700 units, Germany remained the leading market for passenger car sales in Europe that month. European auto market flip-flops Countries with strict lockdown measures saw a sharp drop in sales in 2020, as customers were restricted in travel and urged to stop all non-essential activity. The pandemic also brought down productivity in many sectors, including vehicle manufacturing. For months, pandemic-related restrictions had left many people out of work or meant that they were receiving only a portion of their normal income. Although the coronavirus pandemic continues to unfold, vaccine rollout was ramped up and sales of new passenger cars shot up significantly in the second quarter of 2021. However, the Delta variant made it more difficult to control the spread of the virus and there have been supply-chain insecurities throughout 2021, upending the positive trend. The global automotive semiconductor shortage further impacted vehicle production and sale, as inventories depleted. Pre-crisis sales Changes in tax regulations resulted in a peak in December 2019 and weak sales figures in January 2020. Registrations of new passenger cars in Europe's largest markets were already low due to consumer uncertainty and a weakening economy even before the coronavirus pandemic caused markets to tank in March and April 2020.

Car Registrations in European Union increased to 926582 Units in May from 925359 Units in April of 2025. This dataset provides - European Union Car Registrations- actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.

The U.S. auto industry sold nearly ************* cars in 2024. That year, total car and light truck sales were approximately ************ in the United States. U.S. vehicle sales peaked in 2016 at roughly ************ units. Pandemic impact The COVID-19 pandemic deeply impacted the U.S. automotive market, accelerating the global automotive semiconductor shortage and leading to a drop in demand during the first months of 2020. However, as demand rebounded, new vehicle supply could not keep up with the market. U.S. inventory-to-sales ratio dropped to its lowest point in February 2022, as Russia's war on Ukraine lead to gasoline price hikes. During that same period, inflation also impacted new and used car prices, pricing many U.S. consumers out of a market with increasingly lower car stocks. Focus on fuel economy The U.S. auto industry had one of its worst years in 1982 when customers were beginning to feel the effects of the 1973 oil crisis and the energy crisis of 1979. Since light trucks would often be considered less fuel-efficient, cars accounted for about ** percent of light vehicle sales back then. Thanks to improved fuel economy for light trucks and cheaper gas prices, this picture had completely changed in 2020. That year, prices for Brent oil dropped to just over ** U.S. dollars per barrel. The decline occurred in tandem with lower gasoline prices, which came to about **** U.S. dollars per gallon in 2020 - and cars only accounted for less than one-fourth of light vehicle sales that year. Four years on, prices are dropping again, after being the highest on record since 1990 in 2022.

The average for 2023 based on 26 countries was 566051 passenger cars. The highest value was in Germany: 2844609 passenger cars and the lowest value was in Bulgaria: 35764 passenger cars. The indicator is available from 2005 to 2023. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

Germany fell short of the automobile introduction in comparison to the U.S.A. for a long time, despite its leading position in the development of the combustion engine and automotive technology. The author applies an explanation that is consistent market-based and ascribes differences in the demand to different costs and benefits of the automobile use. Determinants of automobile demand for example are settlement patterns, the income levels or the transport policy treats. Furthermore, the author describes the development of Germany’s passenger car industry until 1933. Main topics include the development of production and sales, the "American threat", the trade policy, rationalization and concentration of the German automotive industry and the importance of this sector for the armaments industry. The study includes comparative information on the number of motor vehicles and motor vehicle density for France, the UK, European and overseas countries.

2017 road traffic data of managers who have signed the agreement to make their data available in Open Data: — annual average road traffic data (ATMJ) all vehicles, — heavy weight traffic data in TMJA and/or TMJO (Medium-day traffic) when this is accounted for by the manager.

The heavy-duty traffic columns may be titled “NAPL” or “TMJA_PL” for average annual traffic, and “NOPL” or “TMJO_PL” for working days traffic.

TMJA is the Annual Average Daily Traffic which represents the daily average flow rate of all vehicles, all senses, calculated over the year.

The nomenclature for the type of counting is as follows: P: permanent counting T1R: automatic temporary counting for 1 week with connection to a permanent counting T1S: automatic temporary counting for 1 week without connection to a permanent counting T2R: automatic temporary counting 2 x 1 weeks with connection to a permanent counting T2S: automatic temporary counting 2 x 1 weeks without connection to a permanent counting T3R: automatic temporary counting 3 x 1 weeks with connection to a permanent counting T3S: automatic temporary counting 3 x 1 weeks without connection to a permanent counting T4R: automatic temporary counting 4 x 1 weeks with connection to a permanent counting T4S: automatic temporary counting 4 x 1 weeks without connection to a permanent counting TA: Temporary Other

This Mikrozensus special survey consists of two parts of the traffic statistics: motor vehicles and driving licenses The first part is a repetition of the Mikrozensus special survey from September 1971 (Mikrozensus MZ7103) on motor vehicles and their road performance. The results of this survey were the basis for studies and measure in the fields of traffic policy, road safety and the general transport. By repeating this special survey, new data for these fields is collected. Moreover, changes due to the strong increase in the number of vehicles are are evaluated. More attention, than in the study from 1971, is also given to the energy consumption resulting from the performance of the vehicle. The questions are only on certain types of vehicles which are of special interest due to their road performance (passenger cars, estate cars, motorcycles, mopeds). Preliminary, important vehicle data and personal data of its owner are are collected. Then the questions are on the mileage at the time the vehicle was bought and at the time of the survey, as well as on the last working day’s and last weekend’s mileage. Owner’s of passenger- or estate cars are also asked how many people usually drive the car (as driver or passenger) from Monday to Friday as well as on the weekends and for what what purpose the car is mainly used. Up until now, statistics on driving licenses have only been conducted in some states on varying form (and therefore not really comparable). The results of this survey should provide information for the whole federal territory on the number of people with driving licenses, the data of the acquiring of the licence and the groups these licenses refer to.

This dataset contains information on vehicles registered in Gijón type: Cyclomotors, in the year 2007. Other datasets related to the Register of Vehicles by annuities are also available, since 2005, and for each of the following vehicles: Passenger cars. Buses. Trucks. Tractors. Trailers. Semi-trailers. Motorcycles. Mopeds.

This table contains key data on the admitted vehicle fleet of passenger cars, motorcycles and commercial vehicles (by vehicle category and by age class of the vehicle). The figures are based on the registration numbers provided by the Dutch Road Traffic Authority (RDW). All vehicles that were registered on 1 January of each year and that were admitted on the road the previous year have been counted. The data are recorded and stored. The register can be accessed for statistical purposes. Vehicles that were uninsured during the whole previous year are not allowed on the road and are, therefore, excluded. Also, vehicles that were registered as in stock of a company on 1 January were not taken into account.

Data available from: 2019

Status of the figures: final

Changes as of 28 February 2025: The figures as of 1 January 2025 have been added.

When will new figures be published? New figures of the vehicle fleet on 1 January will be published at the end of the first quarter of the running year.

Bordeaux Métropole has installed a network of sensors to assess the state of traffic in its territory. This dataset represents by a punctual the geolocation of these sensors on the pavement. It provides information on the identifier and type of meters. There are two types of meters: all-vehicle meters connected to the central station of the Bordeaux Métropole Circulation service via the “Gertrude” system and SIREDO stations that make it possible to distinguish light cars from heavy goods vehicles and to raise speeds.

For “BOUCLE” sensors, a “real time” data record is available at a time of 5 minutes. For sensors of the “SIREDO” type, the operating system does not now allow real-time data to be retrieved on the opendata.

The “5 min” data history has also been available since mid-October 2020.

These data correspond to the gross census of the sensors. They do not take into account any posteriori patches in the event of a specific failure or problem on the sensor. Publications produced by Bordeaux Métropole from reliable data sets may differ from the raw holdings of the data 5 min.

Sensors are magnetic loops located in the roadway to count road vehicles running on the sensor, so they can be disrupted by external events or work on public space.

Via the Bordeaux Métropole WebServices, it is possible to:

• to access current values
• to access values at a past T moment
• do data aggregation per day, month, etc.

Summary Volkswagen has been aggressively shifting towards becoming an EV giant. Several reasons make Volkswagen well-positioned to gain a leadership position in the EV market. Its success has been evident in European markets with the ID.4 SUV. Valuation multiples are one of the lowest in the industry despite a strong outlook. Volkswagen ($VWAGY) has been undergoing a transformation from legacy automotive manufacturer to an EV giant. Its first EV SUV, ID.4, has been a strong success in Europe. The company continues to make bold moves in transforming itself and is well-positioned to succeed in the EV market due to multiple reasons discussed further in the article. For now though, here’s a look at the exterior: Personally, I invested in Volkswagen via Porsche SE ($POAHY) Porsche SE is a holding company, owned by the Porsche family. Porsche SE DOES NOT produce or own the actual sports cars. Porsche SE controls around 53% of Volkswagen, thus buying Porsche SE shares ($POAHY) gives you a discount of about 20% than buying actual Volkswagen shares. To learn more about stock investing, check out this website about the best stock research websites which covers more details about Volkswagen Business Summary Volkswagen is a leading multi-brand automobile giant. It has two divisions: Automotive and Financial Services. Under the Automotive division, the company develops and produces passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, motorcycles as well as software, engines, and other components for vehicles. Passenger car business accounts for nearly 70% of the group’s revenue. The financial services division includes dealer and customer financing, vehicle leasing, fleet management, mobility services, etc. Volkswagen has a broad portfolio of brands across volume, premium, sports, and truck categories. These include Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Bentley, Porsche, Seat, MAN, etc. Below is the revenue mix by geography: Structural shift in the automotive industry The accelerated rise in new technologies, digitization, automation, connectivity needs, and shift towards a greener economy have led to bringing a transformational change in the automotive industry. These have led to shifting the customer preference from internal combustion engine (“ICE”) vehicles to electric, autonomous, and, connected vehicles. While the industry still deals with multiple challenges like lack of EV charging infrastructure and relatively higher cost, these challenges are diminishing rapidly and are expected to be overcome soon which would result in a massive boom for electric vehicles. EV30@30 campaign launched by Clean energy ministerial targets EV sales to reach 30% of total vehicle sales by 2030. In absolute terms, the number of units is expected to be roughly 43 million, up from 3.1 million in 2020. As per Canalys, a global technology market analyst firm, the number of EVs sold is expected to reach 30 million in 2028 and represent 50% of all passenger cars by 2030. EV sales were up 39% in 2020 in terms of volume, while at the same time, total passenger car market declined 14% (Source). Volkswagen’s transformation underway While the overall EV industry growth trends based on above-mentioned estimates are appealing, Volkswagen expects even stronger growth in Europe. It expects EVs to account for more than 70% of total European vehicle sales by 2030. The company seems to go all-in with EV as it announced its plans to introduce the final ICE platform in 2026 with a lifecycle ending by 2040. It plans to have six new battery factories by 2030. The company is also the largest automotive investor of QuantumScape (QS), a leading developer of solid-state lithium-metal batteries. Citi (C) expects Volkswagen to be one of the structural winners as the automotive industry transitions into electric powertrains and gave a buy rating to it. Even crazier— Volkswagen’s research & development (R&D) budget is the 5th largest in the world; they spend more on research than Microsoft, Apple, and Oracle. The company aims to become the global leader by 2025. It plans to sell 1 million electric or hybrid vehicles this year and aims to launch 70 EV models and produce 25 million+ EVs by 2030. Volkswagen has developed a Modular Electric Drive Toolkit (“MEB”) platform which is a scalable modular car platform for EVs. It also plans to launch a different modular car platform (PPE platform) for its premium EV series (Porsche, Audi, etc.) in 2022. Cars already launched on the MEB platform include ID.3 & ID.4. The newly launched first fully electric SUV, ID.4, became the first SUV to top the European BEV rankings in April. Its predecessor, the hatchback ID.3, took the second spot in the European BEV market. This success provides a strong vote of confidence in the company’s competency in the EV market.
