Will a dual-use defence strategy revive Europe’s struggling automotive industry?
As Europe’s car industry struggles in the face of intensifying Chinese competition and Trump’s imposed tariffs, some industry experts expect the historic symbiosis between the automotive and defence is set to deepen. This shift comes at a time when Europe is preparing to ramp up its military investment in the face of global conflict, an increasingly volatile relationship with the U.S., and the fracturing of the NATO alliance following Trump’s invasion of Greenland earlier this year. Last year, EU President Ursula von der Leyen described 2025 as an “era of rearmament”, a trend which has only escalated with recent disruption in the Middle East.
One such automaker considering this dual-use approach is German automotive brand Mercedes-Benz, which announced on Friday that it would be open to exploring military use cases.
