The ECG represents all modes of transport at the EU level: road, rail, sea and river.

Finished vehicle logistics refers to all activities that take place after a new vehicle leaves the factory until it reaches the customer.
The main activities involved in this process include storage, post-production modifications and/or pre-delivery inspections, and delivery of the vehicle to the dealer. Finished vehicle logistics is a highly specialised sector of the transport industry, characterised by meticulous and dedicated storage facilities, workshops and transport systems. Experienced drivers are also required to ensure smooth delivery without damage to the product. ECG members represent 80-85% of the finished vehicle logistics sector in Europe. ECG also has numerous partner organisations that supply the sector, including trailer manufacturers, IT companies and inspection companies. As a major employer, the finished vehicle logistics sector plays an important role in contributing to the economic success of the European Union. ECG members have an aggregate turnover of approximately € 23 billion, and their economic impact on companies associated with the sector is estimated at € 60 billion. More than 145,000 Europeans are directly employed in the vehicle logistics industry, with a further 300,000 indirectly employed in the sector.
