The motor vehicle manufacturing industry is one of the drivers of the European industry. In the European Union, this sector reported annual revenue of around 940.5 billion euros and a production value estimated at some 746 billion euros in 2020. Light commercial vehicles, typically up to 3.5 metric tons in gross vehicle weight, were the EU industry's most produced commercial vehicle type. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and global automotive chip shortage have impacted the sector's van output, dropping to under 1.7 million units in 2021. France was the largest light commercial vehicle producer in Europe, while French brands Renault and Peugeot were the second and third best-selling van brands in the European Union in 2021.
