Production of vehicles and engines for motor vehicles in Poland – results for November 2025 and January–November 2025 (data from the Central Statistical Office)
Based on data from the Central Statistical Office on vehicle production in Poland in 2025 (cumulative, after 11 months), we observe significant differences between individual segments of vehicles.
Passenger cars (excluding electric cars)
Passenger car production in January–November 2025 amounted to 95,200 units, which means 54.1% year-on-year decline. Average monthly production stood at 8,700 units, compared to 18,000 units in the same period of 2024. Year-on-year declines in production were seen in almost all months, except for July, which saw a 13.7% year-on-year increase. The growing difference in production compared to 2024 exceeded 112,000 units.
Production in 2025 (January–November): 95,200 units
Y/Y change:
November: –25.2%
January–November: –54.1%
Monthly average: 8,700 units (vs 18,000 in 2024)
Y/Y declines continue in almost every month, except July (+13.7%)
The segment remains the weakest part of domestic production, with a growing y/y difference reaching –112,000 units after October.
Commercial vehicles and trucks > 3.5 t
Production of commercial vehicles and trucks in January–November 2025 reached 282,075 units, down by 9.7% y/y. The average monthly production was 25,643 units, compared to 27,670 units a year earlier. This segment remains relatively stable compared to the market as a whole, and in selected months (including May and July) positive year-on-year production growth was recorded.
Production 2025 (January–November): 282,075 units.
Change y/y:
November: –14.2%
–9.7% y/y (YTD)
Monthly average: 25,643 units. (vs 27,670 in 2024)
Despite the y/y decline, the segment is showing much greater resilience than passenger cars, with positive m/m growth in selected months (including May and July).
Vehicles for Public Transport (buses)
Bus production in January–November 2025 amounted to 5,659 units, which is a decrease of 10.8% y/y. Average monthly production reached 514.5 units, compared to 592.8 units in 2024. After a record year in 2024, there has been a noticeable move towards a more balanced level of production, with year-on-year increases in the spring and summer months.
Production in 2025 (January–November): 5,659 units.
Y/Y change:
November: –30.1% y/y
–10.8% y/y (YTD)
Monthly average: 514.5 units (vs 592.8 in 2024)
After a very strong 2024, the bus market is returning to a more balanced level, with months of significant growth visible in 2025 (April–July).
Combustion engines for motor vehicles
Engine production in January–November 2025 amounted to over 2,034 thousand units, down by 3.6 % y/y. Average monthly production amounted to 185 thousand units, remaining close to the 2024 level. During the year, a gradual decrease in the scale of production declines was observed in year-to-date terms.
Production in 2025 (January–November): 2,034 thousand units
Change y/y:
November: –1.5% y/y
–3.6% y/y (YTD)
Monthly average: 185,000 units (vs 186,000 in 2024)
Engine production remains relatively stable, with y/y declines steadily decreasing throughout the year.
Summary
The year 2025 is characterised by a marked decline in passenger car production in Poland, with increased resilience in the commercial vehicle, bus and engine production segments. The data confirm the ongoing change in the structure of domestic automotive production and the continuing challenges for the passenger car segment.
