introduction
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 its competitive edge.
The European vehicle manufacturers are technology leaders, driving innovation towards cleaner,
sustainable transport, embracing the challenge to use limited resources responsibly. As major
corporate citizens, they are fully part of society and, therefore, dialogue and mutual understanding
are essential to our industry. This booklet, the ACEA Automobile Industry Pocket Guide, provides
comprehensive and insightful facts and figures - with key data on employment, production, vehicle
registration and use, taxation and trade, as well as information on a range of 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 interested in and
concerned by vehicles, the automotive industry and relevant policies.

ACEA in brief
ACEA means “Association des Constructeurs Européens d’Automobiles” or European
Automobile Manufacturers’ Association. ACEA is an industry association and as such one of
many interest groups that contribute to an informed decision-making process in the EU
ACEA has fifteen members : BMW Group, DAF Trucks, Daimler, FIAT Group, Ford of Europe,
General Motors Europe, Jaguar Land Rover, MAN Nutzfahrzeuge, Porsche, PSA Peugeot
Citroën, Renault, Scania, Toyota Motor Europe, Volkswagen and Volvo
ACEA is based in Brussels and was established in 1991. The Board of Directors is composed
of the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of its 15 members. ACEA maintains close relationships
with the 29 national automobile manufacturers’ associations in Europe
ACEA is the first source of information concerning vehicle-related regulation ,
with over 85 EU Directives and more than 115 UN ECE regulatory requirements in place today,
that are often very technical in nature.
ACEA is the main portal to clear and factual information on the European automobile industry ,
encouraging understanding of the sector’s importance, its complexity and its contributions
to society

ACEA
Corporate citizenship
The ACEA members invest heavily in 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.
For example: It takes 100 of today’s cars to match the average emissions of a car built in the 1970s;
Noise levels of vehicles have been reduced by 90% over the same period;
Reducing fuel consumption is, and has long been, a matter of top-priority;
On the safety front, the introduction of seatbelts, anti-lock braking systems and airbags has cut
fatalities and serious injuries to vehicle passengers by 80%.
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.
01
What interests does ACEA represent?
ACEA represents an industry that is instrumental to EU growth and that plays an important part in
everybody’s lives, through employment, products, education, pensions or investments. The vehicle
manufacturers find it indispensable to maintain a dialogue with those – governments, legislators,
interest groups - that have a large influence on the sector’s future growth, innovative capacity and
investment decisions.
The automobile industry forms the backbone of the EU economy: More than 12 million families depend on the sector for employment;
ACEA members yearly invest € 20 billion in R&D, or 4% of turnover;
Net auto exports are worth € 42.8 billion ;
Vehicle taxes deliver € 381 billion to governments – 3.5% of EU gross domestic product.
The sector’s technologies and innovations shoulder development and progress in many other
sectors, from IT to logistics, health care and others.

ACEA
How does ACEA work?
ACEA is led by a secretary general and employs twelve directors who cover issues and technical
requirements in policy fields such as fuels, emissions, road safety, trade, taxation and transport. Through
its 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 Union at all levels, and with all others concerned by the automobile
industry, including the European public;
Cooperation with policy makers and related industries, to advance mutual understanding of
industry-related 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 social responsibility,
drawing on the strengths and expertise of its members;
Communication of the role and importance of the industry, of its common views and of reliable data
and information;
Monitoring of all activities that influence the automobile industry, responding to and cooperating
with the actors involved.
01
The vehicle industry’s seven priority fields
The European automotive industry has seven priority topics it discusses with the EU institutions
and other stakeholders:
A real completion of the Internal Market which will not be achieved without fiscal harmonisation
of motor vehicle and fuel taxes. In light of the CO2 challenge, taxation schemes should be based
on the CO2 emissions of cars and the use of alternative fuels, to increase demand for fuel-efficiency;
Reducing over-regulation and conflicting objectives of legislation via adequate and independent
impact assessment studies, and reasonable lead-time periods for implementation;
Better promotion of R&D efforts and innovation policy instruments;
Global harmonisation of technical regulations and standards for motor vehicles;
Continuous development of efficient road infrastructure , while ensuring the promotion of
competitive access to basic infrastructure networks (road, energy, transport, telecommunications);
Better market access for European automotive products via the completion of the WTO’s Doha
Round, together with bilateral/regional free trade agreements;
Adoption of an Integrated Approach to important societal issues such as road safety and the
reduction of CO2 emissions, involving all relevant actors and factors.

ACEA co-operation & partnerships
ACEA has permanent and close co-operation 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 and carrying
out co-operative research and development of products, processes and systems.
ACEA maintains close relationships with a number of organisations having 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) and the Union of Industrial Employers’ Confederation of Europe (UNICE).
ACEA also maintains a dialogue on international issues with automobile associations around the
world (JAMA, KAMA, AAM, ATPC, OICA).

The European Council for Automotive R&D (EUCAR) is the research organisation for the major automotive
manufacturers in Europe.
EUCAR, in interaction with its members, identifies future
challenges in strategic research. These are communicated
to the European Commission and to EUCAR partners.
Its members initiate research projects that are often run in
collaboration with external suppliers and research providers.
EUCAR projects are funded mainly through public financing
that is equally matched by the industry.

The automobile industry
is the largest private investor in R&D in the EU
The € 20 bn spent every year on R&D is a measure of the European automobile industry’s commitment
to competitiveness, innovation, employment and social responsibility. The investment amounts to 4% of
the industry’s annual turnover, and covers around one fifth of Europe’s total private R&D expenditure.
A large part of the R&D investments is spent on technologies to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), improving engine efficiency and performance. Another considerable slice
is devoted to making cars as safe as possible – and in the last 15 years, they have become significantly
safer. Companies are continuously developing new car models, trying to maximize customer satisfaction.
Large sums of R&D expenditure are committed to joint, pre-competitive strategic research organised
by the European Council for Automotive R&D – EUCAR, the research arm of the European Automobile
Manufacturers Association (ACEA).
On R&D, each of these automotive giants outspends most leading companies in other sectors.
In 2005, for example, DaimlerChrysler spent € 5.649 bn on R&D, Volkswagen just over € 4 bn,
BMW € 3.1 bn, Renault € 2.3 bn, Peugeot (PSA) € 2.1 bn, and Fiat € 1.3 bn*. Looking at other sectors,
not a single oil and gas producer broke through the € 1 bn barrier and only two chemical companies
(Bayer and BASF) did so.

The vehicle industry is one of the most densily regulated sectors in Europe
The automotive industry is one of the most regulated sectors in Europe. Up till now, more than 80 EU
directives have been drawn up and over 115 pieces of legislation have been internationalised further
within the UN/ECE in Geneva.
Cars 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 very technical in nature and cannot be drafted without the specialist
knowledge of vehicle manufacturers. ACEA collects the necessary information through working groups
(assembling member companies’ experts) and shares the information with the EU institutions and other
stakeholders to support effective and efficient policy making.

CO2-related car taxation widely applied in Western Europe
Almost all Western European countries now levy some form of CO2 tax on passenger cars.
With France, Spain, Finland and Ireland joining in 2007 and 2008, the total of EU Member States
applying CO2-related fiscal measures has risen to fourteen. In addition, countries such as the
Netherlands, Denmark and Portugal implemented significant changes to their already existing schemes.
The European auto industry welcomes the clear trend towards CO2-related car taxation but warns that
the environmental results may be negatively influenced by the lack of coordination among countries.
CO2-related taxation of cars and of alternative fuels is an important tool to shape consumer demand
towards fuel-efficient cars. However, only a harmonised tax scheme will give the necessary clear market
signal which will be decisive in achieving the desired cuts in CO2 emissions. The fragmentation of
systems, furthermore, has a distorting effect on the internal market.
Current CO2-related car tax schemes differ widely: Italy, for example, offers a one-off incentive when
purchasing a new car. France and the UK use CO2 emissions systematically for taxing privately owned
and company cars. Similarly, France, the UK and Luxembourg use CO2 emissions as the only factor for
car taxation, whereas others apply a combination of criteria including car price, engine capacity and
CO2 emissions. Some countries impose rather arbitrary cut-off points to increase tax rates stepwise.
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.

Drivers can make a difference as well
Fuel-efficient driving, «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
to avoid congestion
Get rid of 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.

Eco-innovation concerns much more than engine technology
The European automotive industry is contributing a lot to reducing CO2 emissions from cars. A large
number of CO2-cutting technologies have been introduced into the markets up till now. 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 cars 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 car technologies that will ensure further progress: systems & components, running
resistance, well-to-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 technological efforts confirm the
automotive industry’s determination to achieve further reductions in new car CO2 emissions.
There are areas, however, where sharing efforts is necessary , because technology alone does not
have all the answers. Driving style, the choice of fuel and the quality of the infrastructure are as
decisive to achieve the best possible fuel-economy and lowest CO2 emissions of a car. All over the
world, the automobile brings improved quality of life; the task is to sustain its benefits while reducing
its environmental impact. The vehicle manufacturers produce for today’s and tomorrow’s world and are
determined to play their part.

It takes at least 5 years to develop a new car
Cars are highly complex and innovative products . Their development - from design to production
logistics - takes up to 5 years. Their product cycle, or the time they 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.

A majority of West-European member states levy CO2-related car taxation
Current CO2-related car tax schemes differ widely
across the EU. Italy, for example, offers a one-off incentive
when purchasing a new car. France and the UK use
CO2 emissions systematically for taxing privately
owned and company cars. Similarly, France, the UK
and Luxembourg use CO2 emissions as the only factor
for car taxation, whereas others apply a combination
of criteria including car price, engine capacity and
CO2 emissions. Some countries impose rather arbitrary
cut-off points to increase tax rates stepwise.
CO2-related car taxation is levied in:
Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark,
Finland, France, Ireland, Italy,
Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Portugal,
Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom.

Roger Job | [email protected]
Over the course of 2007 and 2008, the acclaimed Belgian
photo reporter Roger Job explored the role of cars, trucks
and buses in everyday life. Job took the angle of employees
at vehicle manufacturing plants, captured the daily life
of truck chauffeurs, recyclers, retailers and firemen, and
observed people commuting, getting goods and groceries,
enjoying leisure trips, and living family life. A selection of
Job’s work for ACEA is printed in this booklet.
