Figure 9: Development of the share of automotive groups in the number of new passenger car registrations in the European Union

Source: data ACEA (individual years of new registrations); by brand ownership each year; Volkswagen without Porsche; Stellantis after the merger of FCA and PSA; PSA from 2016 with Opel, which was owned by GM until then. New registrations of passenger cars by brand in the EU are shown below, with an overview of the most successful brands and how they have changed over time. Volkswagen has maintained its position as the leader over time and some formerly successful brands such as Ford, Fiat and Citroen have lost their positions, while formerly less successful EU brands such as Skoda, BMW and Toyota are taking their place. It is also worth mentioning the Tesla electric car, which can still be counted as a novelty on the European market and remained just below the top 15 best-selling brands on the EU market.
