A decade ago, the stick shift was king in the European continent.
But is it still the same in 2024?
With tightening Emission Regulations (Euro 6B and beyond) along with Fuel efficiency rules (e.g. WLTP / WLTC, RDR2, etc.), improvements in automatic (e.g. Torque Converter auto, DSG / DCT, CVT), what is the current state of the stick shift in Europe in 2024?
And what is going to be the overall trend / direction moving to the next decade?
