The European Automobile Manufacturers Association (French: Association des Constructeurs Européens d'Automobiles; abbreviated ACEA) is the main lobbying and standards group of the automobile industry in the European Union. In February 1991 it became the successor of the CCMC manufacturers committee (French: Comité des Constructeurs du Marché Commun) which was founded in October 1972.

Its members include:[1] BMW, DAF, Daimler Truck, Ferrari, Ford of Europe, Honda, Hyundai Motor Europe, Iveco, Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz Group, Nissan, Renault, Toyota Europe, Volkswagen Group and Volvo Group.[2]

One major area of ACEA work including its predecessor associations has been in performance quality classifications for 4-stroke engine oils. That history goes back to 1919 (Bureau Permanent International des Constructeurs d'Automobile – BPICA) that was renamed in 1985 (Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles – OICA). The ACEA has its predecessor in the CCMC (Comité des Constructeurs du Marché Commun) founded in October 1972 by French (Citroën, Peugeot, Renault), German (Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen), Italian (Fiat) and British (British Leyland) manufacturers.[3]

As of 2016 ACEA was studying electric vehicle charging stations and expects that Type 2 Mode 3 connectors also to be used for home charging in the second phase after 2017 while still allowing Mode 2 charging with established plug types that are already available in home environments.[citation needed]

The group also raises awareness of vehicle safety technology to improve road safety.[4]

In October 2025 ACEA announced the launch of ACEA:intelligence, "a new digital company providing comprehensive, authoritative data on Europe’s automotive industry".[5][6]

Collaborative research activities of the automotive manufacturers and other efforts are carried out under the auspices of the European Council for Automotive Research and Development (EUCAR).[32] Together with automotive suppliers, the automotive manufacturers support 30% of all research and development in the European Union.[33]

EUCAR was founded in 1994 and is hosted within ACEA.[34]
