Foreword
The automotive industry is a key element in the fabric of the European economy and society.
Our industry contributes enormously to the health and wealth of the EU and its near 500 million
inhabitants - it is vital that the automotive sector retains its competitiveness and innovative edge.
The European vehicle manufacturers are technology leaders, driving innovation towards cleaner, safer,
sustainable transport. As major corporate citizens, they are fully part of society and, therefore, dialogue
and mutual understanding with all our stakeholders is essential. This booklet, the 2010 edition of the
ACEA Automobile Industry Pocket Guide, provides comprehensive and insightful facts and figures
- with key data on employment, production, vehicle registration, vehicle use, taxation and trade, as
well as information on a range of environment and mobility-related issues. It also presents the vehicle
manufacturers’ trade association in Brussels, ACEA.
I trust our pocket guide will be of great value to all those involved
in automotive industry issues and relevant policies.

About ACEA

ACEA
ACEA in brief
ACEA is the acronym for “Association des Constructeurs Européens d’Automobiles” or European
Automobile Manufacturers’ Association. The industry association , based in Brussels, is one of many
interest groups that contribute to an informed decision-making process in the EU.
ACEA has sixteen members : BMW Group, DAF Trucks, Daimler, FIAT Group, Ford of Europe, General
Motors Europe, Jaguar Land Rover, MAN Nutzfahrzeuge, Porsche, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Renault Group,
Scania, Toyota Motor Europe, Volkswagen Group, Volvo Car Corporation and Volvo Group.
ACEA was established in 1991. The Board of Directors (BOD) is composed of the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of its 16 members, whereas the Commercial Vehicle Board of Directors (CV-BOD) is composed of
the heads of the 7 commercial vehicle company members/branches: DAF Trucks, Daimler Trucks, IVECO,
MAN Nutzfahrzeuge, Scania, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and Volvo Trucks. ACEA, furthermore,
maintains close relationships with the 29 national automobile manufacturers’ associations in Europe.
ACEA is the first source of information with regard to vehicle-related regulation . The regulatory
framework consists of around 80 EU Directives and more than 70 applicable UNECE regulatory
agreements covering mostly technological issues and standards.
ACEA is the main portal to clear and factual information about the European automobile industry ,
encouraging understanding of the sector’s importance, complexity and contributions to society.

Corporate citizenship
The members of ACEA deploy numerous corporate social responsibility initiatives to the benefit of their
employees and society-at-large. The industry’s products , furthermore, meet the highest environmental and
safety standards. This is the result of a long-standing tradition of innovation and investments in research
and development.
It takes 100 of today’s cars to match the average pollutant emissions of 1 car built in the 1970s;
Noise levels of vehicles have been reduced by 90% over the same period;
Reducing fuel consumption has long been a matter of top-priority;
On the safety front, the introduction of seatbelts, anti-lock braking systems, electronic stability control
and airbags has cut fatalities and serious injuries to vehicle passengers by 80%. The development of
further safety systems is an on-going process.
Acting as a responsible corporate citizen is not only desirable in itself; it also helps to build a relationship
based on trust and loyalty between companies and their customers.

What interests does ACEA represent ?
ACEA represents an industry that is instrumental to EU growth and that plays an important part in
everybody’s life, through employment and social benefits, education and innovation, and through product
and mobility concepts.
More than 12 million families depend on the sector for employment;
ACEA members operate 208 manufacturing sites in 25 European countries;
The industry’s high-quality products set the standard around the world and continuously push further
innovation;
ACEA members yearly invest over €26 billion in R&D, or 5% of turnover;

ac e a
How does ACEA work ?
ACEA is led by the Secretary General and employs around fifteen experts covering policy issues and
technical requirements in the fields of environment, fuels, emissions, road safety, recycling, trade, taxation,
transport, type-approval and internal market. Through specialist working groups and an extensive network
within the vehicle industry, ACEA has access to a wealth of expertise and applied technical experience.
ACEA activities include, but are not limited to:
Dialogue with the European Institutions and others stakeholders concerned by the automobile industry;
Cooperation with policy makers and related industries to advance mutual understanding of industryrelated issues and contribute to realistic and effective legislation, bearing in mind the interests of
European society and its economy;
Research and study of relevant developments and trends in automotive-related issues and policy fields;
Strategic reflection on the increasingly global challenges of competition and corporate responsibility,
drawing on the strengths and expertise of its members;

The industry’s seven priority fields
The European automotive industry has seven priority topics it discusses with the EU Institutions and
other stakeholders :
Strengthening the competitiveness of the EU economy and the European automobile manufacturing in
particular, through a comprehensive industrial policy that recognises and promotes manufacturing as a
corner stone of future growth and prosperity;
Adoption of integrated policies in the fields of road safety and environment, involving all relevant
actors and factors;
Better market access for European automotive products through balanced multilateral as well as
bilateral/regional free trade agreements;
Continuous development of efficient road infrastructure and other basic infrastructure networks
(energy, transport, telecommunications);
A real completion of the Internal Market, which cannot be achieved without fiscal harmonisation of
motor vehicle and fuel taxes. Car taxation schemes should be based on CO2 emissions to increase
demand for fuel-efficiency;
Reducing over-regulation and conflicting objectives of legislation, promoting adequate and independent
impact assessment studies, reasonable lead-time periods for implementation and global harmonisation
of technical regulations and standards for motor vehicles;
Better promotion of R&D efforts and innovation policy instruments.

ac e a
ACEA cooperation & partnerships
ACEA has permanent and close cooperation with the European Council for Automotive R&D (EUCAR)
which was established in 1994 as the research arm of the industry. EUCAR’s purpose is to strengthen
the competitiveness of the European automotive industry by promoting cooperative research of products,
processes and systems in the pre-competitive stage.
ACEA maintains regular relations with a number of organisations with interests related to the automobile
industry. These include the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA), Intelligent Transport
Systems - Europe (ERTICO), the European Committee for Motor Trades and Repairs (CECRA),
the European Road Safety Federation (ERSF), the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA),
the European Petroleum Association (EUROPIA), the Confederation of European Business
(BUSINESSEUROPE) and others.
ACEA also maintains a dialogue on international issues with automobile associations around the world,
such as JAMA, KAMA, Auto Alliance, AAPC, OICA, CAAM, SIAM and many others.

The automobile industry is the largest private investor
in R&D in the EU
The automotive industry is the largest private investor in
R&D in the EU. The ACEA members together spend over
€26 billion every year on R&D, or about 5% of their turnover.
These figures, resulting from a recent ACEA survey among
its member companies, reflect the great importance that the
automobile manufacturers attach to R&D efforts to keep up
their competitiveness and long-term viability. Main areas of automotive R&D investment are environment,
road safety and production efficiency.
Overall automotive R&D investments are even higher. According to the EU Industrial Investment
Scoreboard, the sectors ‘automobiles and parts’ and ‘commercial vehicles and trucks’ represented R&D
investment of €32.8 billion in 2008. The actual number will be greater, as these categories do not include
all automotive supplying sectors. The Scoreboard ranks the pharmaceutical sector second with €19.8 billion
and the telecommunications equipment sector third with €12 billion.

Auto industry tops R&D scoreboard in Europe
The EU 2009 Industrial Investment Scoreboard
confirmed once more the outstanding role of the
automotive industry for the European economy in
terms of innovative capacity and investment power.
Six of the ACEA members are in the European
Top 20 of investors, with two present in the Top 10,
and one earmarked as largest single investor.
The automotive industry has held its top position
for years now.
6,300 patents
The many patents filed by the industry underline
the sectors innovative stance as well. In 2008,
almost 6,300 patents were filed by the European
automotive industry. They made up 55% of all
automotive applications at the European Patent
Office (EPO). 23% of automotive applications
came from Japan, 16% from the US, 1% from
China/Taiwan and 1% from South Korea.

The vehicle industry is one of the most
densely regulated sectors in Europe
Did you Know ?
The automotive industry is one of the most regulated sectors in
Europe. Up till now, around 80 EU directives have been drawn
up and more than 70 applicable pieces of legislation have been
internationalised further within the UNECE in Geneva.
Cars and commercial vehicles are very complex products and before
they enter the market, they have to comply with what is known as the
Framework Directive for Whole Vehicle Type Approval.
This framework directive contains procedures and a long list of separate directives laying down technical
requirements for motor vehicles as well as for components and separate technical units from which vehicles
are assembled.
In addition, there are directives that establish requirements for the use of motor vehicles, as well as
regulations, which apply throughout the European Union on the basis of Community law.
Vehicle-related regulation is mostly very technical in nature and cannot be drafted without the specialist

It takes at least 5 years to develop a new car
Did you Know ?
Cars are highly complex and innovative products. Their development - from design to production logistics takes up to 5 years. Engine design can take even longer. Their product cycle, or the time that cars are kept
in production, comprises up to 7 years.
Vehicle and engine adjustments are hugely complicated and capital-intensive operations. Manufacturers
and their suppliers plan and allocate production capacity well ahead to accommodate production and
renewal of their car portfolio. To be able to adjust automobiles to new legal requirements, the car industry
needs sufficient lead-time ahead of implementation of these new rules.
During the development phase, changes to a prototype are limited to implementation of ready-available
new technologies within the technical and economic constraints of the car’s concept. The possibilities for
change become more limited in the execution phase. During the typical production life of a car, investments
in capital and innovations need to be recovered. Modifications are only opportune in case of relatively minor
requirements, such as software changes.

The car is the preferred means of transport for Europeans
There are more than 234 million vehicles on the European roads (eurostat, 2008), or about 1 per 2 inhabitants.
Nearly 6% of them are new vehicles (up to 1 year), and about 34% are at least 10 years old (Anfac, 2008).
The average annual distance travelled by a car in Europe is about 22,000 km.

Reducing CO2 emissions involves
more than engine technology
The European automotive industry is contributing significantly to reducing CO2 emissions from vehicles.
A large number of advanced technologies have been introduced into the markets and many more are to
come. The European car manufacturers and the automotive suppliers work closely together to achieve
further important results.
Reducing CO2 emissions from automobiles is a complex challenge and involves improvements of the
whole vehicle, not just the engine. The European automotive industry has identified multiple categories
for eco-innovative technologies that will ensure further
progress: systems & components, running resistance, wellto-wheel efficiency, smart navigation and driver information.
All categories contain numerous technology applications,
from adaptive cruise-control and super efficient LED lights to
robotised gearboxes and the storage and re-use of heat.
These innovations confirm the automotive industry’s
determination to achieve further reductions in new car
CO2 emissions, no matter which engine they use.
In addition, driving style, the choice of fuel or energy and the quality of the infrastructure are as decisive to
achieve the best possible fuel-economy and lowest CO2 emissions of road transport.

Drivers can make a big difference
Fuel-efficient driving, or «Eco-driving», can significantly reduce fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions.
Slight changes in driving style enable drivers to exploit fully the fuel-efficiency potential of modern
technologies. Eco-driving is easy to apply.
The Golden Rules for eco-driving are :
Shift into a higher gear early
Maintain a steady speed at highest possible gear
Look ahead and anticipate traffic flow
Switch off the engine at short stops
Check and adjust the tyre pressure regularly
Make use of in-car fuel saving devices such as on-board computers and dynamic navigators
Avoid surplus weight and unused roof racks
Highly cost-effective : Eco-driving training leads to a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 25 % after
training, with a significant long-term effects of 7% under everyday driving conditions.

In freight transport, there is and has long been a clear business case to minimize fuel consumption.
For most transport companies, fuel is the main operating cost and the intense competition on the commercial
vehicle market has driven technological process in commercial vehicle manufacturing to great heights.
A 40-tonne truck built today burns around a third less fuel than one made in the 1970s. Per tonne
transported, this corresponds to a fuel consumption of just 1 litre of diesel per 100 tonnekm, with significant
CO2 savings as a result. Today’s buses are also
leading the way with average fuel consumption per

of a trip per train.
Further improvements in fuel efficiency remain a prime
priority for European manufacturers.
Modern diesel engines are clean, fuel efficient and
durable. Vehicles on alternative fuels or with innovative
drive trains are now also a familiar sight on Europe’s
roads. A combination of better infrastructure, increased
driver training, wider use of telematics, improved
transport efficiency and harmonisation of standards will
help achieve further sustainable mobility.

Alternative fuels and energies
A wide variety of alternative fuels
exists in the EU. They should be used
to reduce emissions and decrease our
dependency on fossil fuels.
Biofuels can significantly contribute to overall CO2 emission reductions.
The vehicle technology is known and cost-efficient.
FlexFuel vehicles can run on 85% ethanol and 15% conventional petrol.
The auto industry has made a commitment that as of 2010 all new models will be compatible with E10/B7.
Gas in the form of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) or Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) can contribute to
reducing emissions today.
Plug-in hybrid vehicles will become available in more varieties and European manufacturers are
advancing extended-range and battery electric car technology as well.
Future hydrogen-powered cars will emit mainly water vapour.
What our industry delivers
47
Cars, Trucks and the Environment
Building an infrastructure
To be successful, alternative fuel
and energy technologies need
to be affordable, easy to use
and widely available.
For biofuels, the future lies with so-called second generation biofuels, and their introduction should be
encouraged:
– they are likely to be better compatible with existing vehicles;
– they are produced from different raw materials such as agricultural waste material or wood.
The vehicle technology is known but the availability of these fuels and their infrastructure is still lacking.
To fully benefit from the advantages of plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles, electricity will have
to become increasingly drawn from renewable sources. The electricity infrastructure will have to be
adapted and extended. A positive policy framework, including fiscal incentives, is needed to stimulate the
uptake of the electric vehicles.
Filling stations for gas and hydrogen should be more widely spread.

key figures
17 Member States levy CO2-related taxation on cars
In 2010, seventeen EU Member States levied CO2-related taxes on
passenger cars. Fifteen governments provided tax incentives for
electrically chargeable vehicles. In 2009, total motor vehicle taxes
in the EU15 amounted to €427 billion or 3.9% of GDP.
The European car industry supports the further introduction of the
fiscal incentives to promote fuel efficiency. Tax measures are an
important tool in shaping consumer demand towards fuel-efficient
cars, and help create a market for breakthrough technologies, notably during the introduction phase.
The environmental results of the tax incentives in the EU may be
negatively influenced by the widely varying systems in each country.
The European car industry urges EU governments to show more
resolve in harmonising car taxation schemes.
The car industry advocates a linear system, in which tax levels are
directly proportionate to the car’s CO2 emissions and every gramme
of CO2 is taxed the same. Car tax schemes should neither include nor
exclude specific technologies and be budget neutral in end-effect.
CO2– related car taxation is applied in: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Luxembourg,
Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, the
United Kingdom.
Taxation
Incentives for electrically chargeable vehicles are provided in all
Western European countries with the exception of Italy and Luxembourg. The Czech Republic and Romania take the total number of
Member States with these incentives up to fifteen.
