Other car manufacturers in Europe

In the shadow of the biggest companies that have dominated the automotive production market for a century, a number of small manufacturers have developed in countries such as Czechoslovakia and Sweden. With the position of their different models, they have participated in enriching the European car paint color codes, with many body paints, whether opaque, pearly or metallic depending on the times and trends.

Who are these other vehicle manufacturers in Europe? These are, for example, Skoda or mini or even Volvo, which are far from being small companies and which are today recognized and famous brands at the international level.

The color codes of European-made cars are grouped in lists or rather databases available only to professionals on color software.

In the top 10 of the biggest brands and best-selling vehicles on the European continent, we find Skoda in 9th place with a very respectable 116,000 vehicles produced and sold over the year. We are a long way from the 260,000 sold by vogue vagabonde, but this humble brand from the East is ahead of a brand like Toyota!

Others european cars paint color codes 

While some small brands, known for iconic and few models like Mini, have been taken over by larger groups, some other manufacturers have remained independent and well established in their country of origin. This is the case of Volvo, which is a Swedish industrial corporation, whose primary activity was originally the production of construction machinery and also trucks or buses.
It's a bit the same history that is repeated for most manufacturers, as far as Japan via Europe and the United States, that is to say that manufacturers have, in most cases, since converted into an activity which revolved around metal and machines, during the advent of motor vehicles, and especially after the industrial boom of the Second World War with the democratization of vehicles for all.

These cars made in Europe, Poland, Czechoslovakia or Sweden, or even Romania, use robots for both assembly and painting. These are large groups of paints that provide its colors, which are listed according to very precisely color codes established by each manufacturer.
After the manufacture and sale of vehicles, there is the real life of the vehicle that goes pass through the hands of one or more owners and it is often on this occasion that the color code of the vehicle is useful, in the case of a passage to the garage or to a bodywork for a repair.

The tones and colors that cover the bodywork of Skoda vehicles represent the cold and hard character of Eastern countries with very elegant and metallic shades.

With the end of the Second World War and the decreasing need to build planes, the leaders of the Saab company will seek to diversify the activities in order to make the company survive and it is in the automotive field that they will launch all their energy, as early as 1947.
