Heavy-Duty Vehicles – What future in Europe’s automotive sector?

  • On 12 May, the EU held its first Strategic Dialogue, led by Ursula von der Leyen, to bolster the continent’s defence industry in response to emerging security challenges.
  • This dialogue responded to increased defence spending, including a 30% rise between 2021 and 2024 and Germany removing its debt brake to boost funding.
  • The meeting stressed the defence industry's expansion since Russia's aggression from Ukraine, highlighting production growth, new facilities, and persistent structural challenges.
  • Von der Leyen emphasized that as the EU expands its role in defence, having a robust defence industry is essential, and she announced that a Defence Omnibus Package will be introduced in June 2025.
  • The package aims to simplify regulations, enhance cooperation, secure investments, promote innovation, and strengthen supply chains to boost Europe's strategic autonomy.
