| Abstract [eng] |
The automotive market is a very important area in both economic and ecological terms, strongly related to the salary, the economic condition of the country and it’s applied policies. The constantly expanding and updating of the European Union's "green deal" regulations, aiming at decarbonization and the lowest possible emissions, affect car fleets and their trends, especially when the markets are small, such as in Lithuania. It is also necessary to clarify the vulnerability of these specific car segments to macroeconomic indicators, in order to find out how economic cycles affect them. To find the connections and offer reasonable recommendations, it is necessary to conduct an empirical study, assessing how and to what extent these indicators affect sales. The Lithuanian context is examined due to limited number of similar studies in the country and also acknowledging the fact that considerable number of them have been conducted in other countries. |
