PZPM - GUS Motor Vehicle & Combustion Engines Production - AUGUST 2024

We present the results on PRODUCTION OF MOTOR VEHICLES and ENGINES FOR MECHANICAL VEHICLES in POLAND in AUGUST 2024, based on data from the Central Statistical Office (CSO)

In August this year - the results of PRODUCTION OF MOTOR VEHICLES and ENGINES FOR MECHANICAL VEHICLES in Poland were very poor for a second consecutive month.
The lower results were partly influenced by seasonality as well as the termination and reduction of production and restructuring at many automotive plants in Poland. However, the reported results are slightly higher than a month earlier.
