GEAR 2030 Strategy 2015-2017: Comparative analysis of the competitive position of the EU automotive industry and the impact of the introduction of autonomous vehicles
European Union, September 18, 2017
The analysis assesses the external competitiveness of the EU automotive industry to 2030 and beyond in the face of shifting market and regulatory drivers in six key competitive markets, comprising the EU, China, India, Japan, South Korea and the US. It covers seven vehicle segments comprising passenger cars (M1 category split into entry-level, mid-range and luxury segments), light commercial vehicles (N1 category) and L-category vehicles (split into light two-wheelers, two-wheeled motorcycles and light/heavy quadricycles). The study entailed the development of a modelling approach to understand the impacts of regulation in the EU and elsewhere on the automotive industry and the wider economy.
