Autoindustrie: Deutschland exportiert weniger Autos
Die Krise der Autohersteller schlägt sich auch in der Exportstatistik wieder. Der wichtigste Kunde, die USA, nimmt weniger Autos ab. Chinesische Konzerne drängen nach Deutschland.
In the first seven months of the year, German automobile exports experienced a noticeable decline. A total of approximately 2.0 million new passenger cars were exported, representing a 4% decrease compared to the same period last year, according to the Federal Statistical Office, which announced this on Monday. The export value dropped by 8.9% to 73.5 billion euros during the January-July period.
Meanwhile, imports of new passenger cars to Germany increased in volume by 16.0% to around 1.3 million vehicles. The main destination countries for German passenger cars were the United Kingdom, the United States, and Italy, accounting together for 32.7% of exports, which is nearly a third of the total. The decline in exports affected all types of propulsion.
Exports of cars with internal combustion engines fell by 2.9% to a million units, while exports of pure electric cars also decreased by 2.9% to 560,000 units. Hybrid vehicles saw a 8.2% decline, with 380,000 units exported. Among the imports, China became the leading supplier, with 175,000 cars accounting for 13.8% of imported new vehicles, marking a 120.9% increase compared to the previous year.
