Sažetak
The paper addresses the question of the influence of Croatian motor vehicle trade sector performance, as a representative of the trends on eastern European Union automotive trade markets, on the other European Union member countries motor vehicle production within the period from 2000 to 2015. The methodology of this research is based on the implementation of different production and trade performance indicators like production exports, motor vehicle import penetration and other important indicators. The results showed that, although the overproduction has led some European Union motor vehicle producers to the edge of bankruptcy, European Union holds an outstanding position in automotive industry with over half of the world turnover. Moreover, low incomes in sales resulted in formation of new motor vehicle manufacturer alliances and supply chain restructuring initiatives among many European Union motor vehicle producers. Also, the results showed that although the Croatian motor vehicle market is on the way to recovery, the motor vehicle trade sector still faces major challenges in the reduction in sales, which directly influences on the negative trends in European Union motor vehicle production sector. The paper is a valuable contribution to research fields of motor vehicle production and trade development, especially for the European Union market because it deals with data collected in a specific geographical market.
