The European automotive market is supported by high sales on the European markets, which are growing stronger than China. However, the strong euro is having a negative impact on the sales of German automakers, with all of them losing ground compared to the previous quarter. Despite this, VW can still increase its sales by 4.3% on an annual basis, while Audi and Daimler also see growth. On the other hand, BMW's sales are declining by 6.6%, and international automakers such as Hyundai-KIA, Toyota, and Ford are also experiencing a decline in sales. GM is also losing almost a fifth of its sales without Opel and its European business.
