  • Very rapid growth of car ownership in less developed EU countries because of their lower equipment level, with 3 countries with a progression above 5%/year (Latvia, Lithuania and Romania) and 3 other between 3% and 5%/year (Poland, Bulgaria and Estonia). The trend is slowing in most countries since 2010, except in Romania, Hungary and Czechia. 
  • Slower progression in other EU countries due to saturation, especially since 2010 in Sweden, Italy, Luxembourg and Belgium.
