Abstract
The increased of the automotive industry competition in the Central European Countries (CEE) is just coming from West Europe. Some producers increase their product efficiency a) by reducing the number of platforms (and in the new plant then apply the new platform), b) some are investing in new plants for designing vehicles more suited to car functionality of CEE countries inhabitant taste. Others c) are trying to move into higher value segments, however they will have to work on significant productivity improvements. Continuous growth in transport activity reflects the dependence of modern societies on efficient and effective motorised transport, which has been the cornerstone of economic and social progress the last 50 years. Automotive industry was key attraction in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) for Central and Eastern Europe last decade and substantial development of mobility in road transport is expected. So the countries of this zone will take larger share in production of basic materials, systems, in production and utilisation of cars, and in their recycling.
