Evolution of the Israeli market (2010-2020)
- The Israeli car market has grown from 200,000 units (PC + LUV) in 2012 to nearly 300,000 units in 2016. That year marked the peak of registrations in the country, because since 2016 the Israeli automobile market has not has stopped decreasing, from 280,000 units in 2017 to 250,000 in 2019 and 225,000 in 2020, a year marked by the coronavirus. In 2020, we returned to the 2011 level.
- The Israeli market is 95% passenger cars and 5% light utility vehicles. Among these 5% light utility vehicles, one fifth is made of pick-up, i.e. 1% of the overall Israelian market. Among passenger cars, there is a majority of sedans, but their proportion in all registrations has continued to decrease, from 81% in 2010 to 75% in 2014 and 48% in 2020. On the contrary, the SUV market share has grown significantly (as in most other countries), from 8% in 2010 to 16% in 2014 and 46% in 2020. On their sides, the MPVs have decreased from 6% of the market in 2010 to 4% in 2014 and only 1% in 2020.
- By manufacturer, it is the Hyundai-Kia group which for ten years has consolidated its position as leader of the Israeli market, its market share having increased from 19% in 2010 to 24% in 2014 and 28% in 2020. Thereafter we can find the Volkswagen group (17% of the market), the Toyota group (14%) and the Renault-Nissan group (14%). These four manufacturers occupy 73% of the Israeli market. Chinese manufacturers for their part hold 1.5% of the Israeli market, but constantly increase their position.

Mercedes to offer eight different electric models in 2022
- We know a little more about Mercedes' “electric vehicle” program. The Stuttgart manufacturer will finally offer eight different electric models by 2022, without counting the EQT which will be the Mercedes version of the Renault Kangoo Z.E.
• EQA: GLA-based C-segment SUV. Produced in Rastatt (Germany) from 2021. Will also be produced in Beijing (China).
• EQB: GLB-based C-segment SUV. Produced in Kecskemét (Hungary) from 2021 and not in Mexico like the GLB. Will also be produced in Beijing (China).
• EQC: D-segment SUV based on the GLC, therefore on the C-Class. Produced in Bremen (Germany) since 2019.
• EQE sedan: E-segment sedan based on the E-Class. Produced in Bremen (Germany) from 2021. Will also be produced in Beijing (China).
• EQE SUV: The EQE will also be offered in an SUV version from 2022. Produced in Tuscaloosa (USA).
• EQS sedan: F segment sedan based on the S-Class. Produced in Sindelfingen (Germany) from 2021.
• EQS SUV: The EQS will also be offered in an SUV version from 2022. Produced in Tuscaloosa (USA).
• EQV: E-segment MPV based on the V-Class. Produced in Vitoria (Spain) since 2020.
- These eight electric models are mostly high-end vehicles and will therefore experience limited sales, of the magnitude order of 100,000 units in total in 2025 according to Inovev (excluding production in China).

The PSA group electrifies its entire range of light commercial vehicles
- 说明
The PSA group electrifies its entire range of light commercial vehicles
- After starting the marketing of Citroën e-Jumpy, Peugeot e-Expert and Opel e-Vivaro vans a few weeks ago, 100% electric powered derivatives of the thermal engine versions, the PSA group is preparing to launch the 100% electric motorization derivatives of Citroën Berlingo, Peugeot Partner and Opel Combo vans. In the process, the French manufacturer will also launch the Citroën e-Jumper, Peugeot e-Boxer and Opel e-Movano utilities with 100% electric engines.
- Note that the e-Movano abandons its Renault Master body in favuor of the Fiat Ducato’s which is used as the basis for the Citroën Jumper and Peugeot Boxer. Indeed, even before the planned merger of PSA with FCA in early 2021, the collaboration between Opel and Renault on commercial vehicles had been questionned by the takeover of Opel by PSA. The Opel Movano will therefore change its body in 2021, as the Opel Vivaro had done before. Renault is losing a second model at its French production sites, after the shutdown of the Fiat Talento scheduled for this month, which we had recently talked about.
- The range of PSA light commercial vehicles will therefore be fully available in a 100% electric version from the second half of 2021, both in the N1-1 segment (size 1), in the N1-2 segment (size 2) and in the segment N1-3 (size 3).
- Inovev expects total production of 38,000 units for these electrically powered PSA LCVs by 2025.
- Note that Toyota, which benefits from PSA bodywork on its ProAce (N1-2) and ProAce City (N1-1), will also see these models be available in an electric version from the second half of 2021.

European exports fell by 13% in 2020
- 说明
European exports fell by 13% in 2020
- European exports are traditionally towards the United States, China and Turkey. They held up better than expected in 2020, in particular thanks to the revival of the Chinese market in the second half of the year and the strong growth of the Turkish market. The Chinese market, which has a strong demand for European vehicles (it imported 530,000 units in 2019) grew by almost 10% in the second half of 2020 and the Turkish market has grown by 72% since the start of the year.
- As a result, European exports to China fell less than expected, dropping from 530,000 in 2019 to 450,000 units in 2020 (a loss of only 80,000 units) and those to Turkey increased, by 250,000 in 2019 to 350,000 units in 2020 (i.e. a gain of 100,000 units). European exports to the United States still represent the largest volume, with 850,000 units in 2020 against 1,050,000 in 2019 (thus showing a drop of 200,000 units).
- Finally, European exports to Russia also fell in 2020, since they represented only 65,000 units in 2020 against 125,000 in 2019. Suddenly, Switzerland is now well ahead of Russia (with 170,000 units in from Europe) as well as Norway (110,000 units), these two countries not being part of the European Union and therefore part of the foreign regions of European automobile exports, according to the Eurostat definition.
- Overall, European exports fell down by 13% in 2020, which is a better performance than the 15% drop in global sales (and even 25% in Europe) or the 17% drop in global automobile production.

The fall down rate of European production by manufacturer in 2020

The fall down rate of European production by manufacturer in 2020
- With an automobile production volume down 28.2% over the first ten months of 2020 compared to the first ten months of 2019, the European Union (including Great Britain) has seen some manufacturers post more significant falls.
- The worst performances were recorded by the Suzuki group whose production fell down by 45.0%, which seems to confirm that this manufacturer is in great difficulty, by the Jaguar Land-Rover group (Tata group) whose production in Europe fell down by 40.2%, followed closely by Honda (-39.9%) which has already announced that it will close its European factories in 2021.
- Suzuki begins to market original Toyota models on the European continent, which is not a good signal for the manufacturer and above all does not benefit to all its European plant located in Hungary.
- The PSA and Renault-Nissan groups recorded poor performance, with production decreases of 34.9% and 34.1% respectively. At PSA, Citroën displayed the biggest drop (-37.9%) and at Renault-Nissan, it was Nissan (-38.8%). This is why the new generations of Citroën C4 and Nissan Qashqai are eagerly awaited by the network.
- The Daimler (-31.6%), Hyundai-Kia (-31.6%) and Ford (-30.2%) groups achieved very average performances, compared to the overall decline in European production. Finally, the manufacturers who did better than the average decline are as follows: the Volkswagen group (-27.0%), the FCA group (-25.7%), the BMW group (-22.6%) and chiefly the Toyota group (-18.6%) and Volvo (-13.5%) which belongs to the Geely group.
