Production impact, by country

Status on: 04/05/2020

  • EU-wide production losses due to factory shutdowns amount to at least 2,317,369 motor vehicles so far.
    • This figure includes passenger cars, trucks, vans, buses and coaches.
  • The average shutdown duration is 29 working days at the moment.
  • Production losses are obviously set to increase if shutdowns are extended or additional plants are brought to a halt.

Disclaimer

  • This is by far the most comprehensive EU-wide overview currently available, combining all known information and available sources.
    • The data is aggregated by ACEA and updated on a weekly basis using multiple sources, including IHS Markit, MarkLines, national automobile manufacturers’ associations and (public) announcements by manufacturers.
  • Nevertheless, it is important to stress that ACEA fully acknowledges that this overview is non-exhaustive, it merely serves as a tool to show the EU-wide impact of the crisis.
