The Automotive Quarterly report for August 2019 highlights the recovery of the automotive market, with overall market values and indexes showing growth compared to the previous year. However, the market is still facing challenges such as trade disputes, Brexit, and high investments in new mobility technologies. Despite this, automaker revenues have increased significantly over the previous year, with Volkswagen leading the way. The report also notes that Volkswagen is now counting commercial vehicles in the same category as passenger cars, rather than separately.
