Crash or rescue: European carmakers look to the EU for salvation.

Europe's car industry is “in mortal danger”, EU industry chief Stéphane Séjourné said a few months back.

Stuttering sales, high energy prices, growing global competition and an uncertain regulatory and trade environment have plunged the sector into a spiralling crisis.

Will a summit between the auto sector and Ursula von der Leyen on Friday provide a life-line?

Electric models, long a loser for German carmakers, could still be their salvation.

Troubles in the key US and Chinese markets put German carmakers’ adaptability to the test.

But EVs might now offer a rare – and badly needed – opportunity for German carmakers as they battle for survival following a disastrous year.

That's particularly true given the sudden sales problems at Tesla.

Germany shifts gears as auto slump meets defence boom.

Could Germany could solve two problems at once? Its struggling automotive sector is saddled with surplus factories and skilled labour, just as its booming defence industry is short on both.

The next move lies with policymakers.

Former UK manufacturing lead for Stellantis, Mark Noble… said troubles for Stellantis' UK plants at Luton and Ellesmere Port "started with Brexit" because it "caused a lot of uncertainty".

Don’t blame EVs. EV sales are increasing though they need to increase much faster and the government needs to improve incentives like the Scandinavian countries.

The German government is trying to secure a future for the combustion engine, but it's likely too late, Renault's CEO warned Tuesday.

Luca de Meo, who is also chair of the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), said carmakers had already responded to EU plans to mandate a zero-emission sales policy for cars and vans from 2035 by funneling billions of euros into clean vehicle technology.
