- The Western Europe imported vehicles in 2012 mainly from Eastern Europe (2.3 million units), which makes sense since this neighboring region is the main area of relocation of manufacturers located in Western Europe. The Western Europe has imported many vehicles from Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Slovenia.

- The Western Europe also imported in 2012, but in smaller quantities, vehicles from the NAFTA region (Canada, USA, Mexico: 336,000 units), South Korea (312,000 units), Japan (202,000 units) and India (159,000 units). Other countries (such as China or Russia) account for  much less vehicles.

- Imports from Eastern Europe represent 70% of total imports of Western Europe. The total of imports from all countries to Western Europe represent 28.5% of the registrations in Western Europe (71.5% of sales come from plants located in Western Europe).
