AUTOMOBILE ASSEMBLY & ENGINE PRODUCTION PLANTS IN EUROPE
May 2010 - The automobile industry operates 297 vehicle assembly and engine production plants in Europe, including the EU27 and a number of neighbouring countries, such as Russia, Ukraine and Turkey.
The 16 ACEA members operate in 25 countries with a total of 208 plants, producing passenger cars, light commercial vehicles or vans, buses and coaches, medium sized and heavy duty trucks and engines. Typically, automobile plants group a large number of automotive suppliers at the same location or in the vicinity, contributing, in all, enormously to the economy of regions and countries. Other materials and automotive parts are supplied from elsewhere in Europe and around the globe.
The European automotive industry is key to the strength and competitiveness of Europe. The industry provides direct employment to more than 2.3 million people and indirectly supports another 10 million jobs in Europe. Annually, the ACEA members invest over €26 billion in R&D, or about 5% of turnover.

About this overview ACEA has strived to be as accurate as possible. ACEA does not accept any claims regarding possible mistakes but welcomes, however, all input to help further complete and update this overview. The European automotive suppliers, including a number of multinationals as well as thousands of small and medium sized companies, are not included in this overview for reasons of complexity. Our sources include the automobile manufacturers’ websites, CCFA, Wikipedia and press articles. Europe includes the EU27 plus a number of neighbouring countries (Bosnia Herzegovina, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Norway, Russia, Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine, Uzbekistan)
