European manufacturers used 85% of their capacity in 2017
Overcapacity in Europe (Europe 29 + Turkey) decreased further in 2017, falling to 15% of all European capacitya utilization rate of 85%, the same rate as in 2007 which had been the best of the past decade. This good figure is explained by:

1. The rise in the European market, which continued in 2017 (+ 3.3%), allowing more vehicles to be produced last year.                     
2. No new factories construction in Europe in 2017, and existing facilities responding without difficulty to demand.
3. European exports remaining at a good level in 2017 thanks to a world market up 2.3%.
4. Recent plant closures in Europe yielding the expected results (capacity reduction).

If the European market continues to increase in 2018 and the level of European exports is maintained (a priori, the world car market should continue to grow this year, of the order of 2 to 3%), overcapacity of European car factories this year should drop to only 14% of all European capacities, the lowest figure recorded in the last twenty years.

2018 Geneva MotorShow - Kia
Kia Ceed

Kia introduced the third generation of its C segment sedan exclusively sold and produced in Europe, the Ceed.

This new generation is based on the K2 platform shared by the recent Hyundai i30, also sold and produced in Europe.

This new Kia sedan competes with the C-segment sedans of generalist brands such as VW Golf, Renault Mégane, Peugeot 308, Citroën C4, Ford Focus, Opel Astra, Fiat Tipo, Seat Leon ... and Hyundai i30.

The new Kia Ceed will be, as previously, produced in Zilina (Slovakia) and will be marketed at the end of the second quarter of 2018.

Inovev expects a production of 100,000 units per year in Slovakia of the third generation, given a European market that is expected to slow down in the coming years and which favors sales of SUVs.
