The German vehicle industry, and the automotive industry in particular, faces the demanding challenge of consolidating its position in the midst of changes in the global economy and social preferences, while at the same time driving forward the transformation of the sector towards climate neutrality.

These measures are subject to both concurrent and ex-post evaluations during the period from 2023 to 2027.
