Interactive infographics
Erik Jonnaert, Secretary General of ACEA: “A novelty to the 25th anniversary edition of our Pocket Guide, is that we are also making its content accessible through interactive infographics on our website, allowing everyone to explore the data in detail over time or to compare countries.” This means that the most commonly sought after figures, tables and statistics regarding Europe’s auto industry are now also accessible through a series of interactive infographics on the acea.be website.
Having the possibility to interact with the data, users can now easily discover interesting trends and patterns or find answers to specific questions. You can, for example, discover the share of diesel in new car registrations per country, or new passenger car registrations by alternative fuel type.
