New motorcycle registrations in five of the largest European markets (i.e. France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK) reached 542.361 units during the six first months of 2025. This represents a decrease of approximately -11,3% compared to 2024 (611.145 units).
Motorcycle registration volumes increase in Spain (111.363 units, +5% year-on-year), while in other countries, the market has generally shrunk: in Italy (195.025 units, -4,2%), France (98.499 units, -14,8%), UK (47.464 units, -19,8%) and in Germany (90.010 units, -29%).
Moped registrations reached a total volume of 68.690 units in the six European moped markets monitored by ACEM (i.e. Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain). This registration volume represents a reduction of -19,2% in comparison to last year (84.974 units). All markets are with a previsible decrease, Spain (5.628, -2%), Germany followed (8.333 units, -5,9%), Belgium (13.304 units, -9,7%), Netherlands (13.199 units, -17,4%) , France (21.607 units -27,7%) and Italy (6.619 units, -32,4%).

New commercial vehicle registrations: vans -13.2%, trucks -15.4%, buses -4.4% in H1 2025

The first half of 2025 proved challenging for the EU's commercial vehicle market, marked by significant registration declines in key markets, amidst an already challenging economic context. While the electrically-chargeable share increased, the growth trajectory is still not fast enough as market uptake continues to be stymied by the near absence of essential enabling conditions.

Overview of current registrations

On July 9, 2025, a meeting of the Parliamentary Group for Distributed Energy, Electromobility and Innovation, chaired by Artur Łącki,  was held in the Polish
Sejm The event was attended by Jakub Faryś - President of the Polish Automotive Industry Association
The discussion concerned, among other things:

•  decarbonization of transport in Poland against the background of Europe legislative actions at the level of the EU and member countries
•  planned legal changes in Poland

The meeting was an excellent opportunity for dialogue with representatives of the public sector, experts and companies working on energy transition and electromobility

During a debate organized by Dziennik Gazeta Prawna titled “Automotive in Poland,” Michal Wekiera touched on the most important challenges facing the European and Polish automotive industries today:
He highlighted many aspects of the transition to low-carbon mobility, including that:
    The transition should be based not only on zero-carbon mobility, but also on low-carbon mobility, using the full spectrum of available technologies - so as not to become dependent again, this time on imports of metals and components.
    The EU must take into account differences between countries and the real needs of customers - not just political assumptions. Today, manufacturers' investments often fall short of consumers' expectations.
    The Chinese model based on different political conditions will not work in Europe - we need to find our own way to zero-carbon, without losing competitiveness.
    If we want to be innovative and attractive for investment, we need to remove barriers, not introduce “one relief and two restrictions.”
Conclusion:
A strong European automobile is one that protects the climate, but also preserves technological advantages, jobs and investment potential. Hybrids, low-carbon powertrains, local value chain development and smart regulation may be the key to success.
