The last part of the analysis of the passenger car market in the EU15+EFTA asses the position of the car brands themselves, regardless of their geographical origin or affiliation to a given car group. Over the past three decades, Volkswagen, Renault, Peugeot, and luxury brands such as Mercedes, BMW, Audi have taken the top positions in the European market.
