Origin intelligence · heritage and ownership
Track the countries and wider regions behind Greece’s car brands, then separate marque heritage from today’s ownership groups and compare their electric penetration.

Origin balance · Dec 2023
Brand origin describes marque heritage. Ownership group and ownership region remain separate views so acquisitions do not rewrite a brand’s origin.

Brand origin means marque heritage, not assembly location. The market-bloc view isolates China, Japan, South Korea and Germany, groups the remaining European marques as Other Europe, and keeps North America separate. Ownership groups describe the current classification lens (October 2026), applied consistently to the selected history; they do not assert historical ownership. MG is British-origin / SAIC-owned; Volvo is Swedish-origin / Geely-owned. Smart retains a joint-venture ownership category. Citroën/DS remains one official reporting row.
Registrations cover passenger cars, inclusive calendar months. BEV penetration means battery-electric registrations within the group divided by all of that group’s passenger-car registrations. YoY uses identical months one year earlier. A missing month produces an unavailable comparison, not zero. EV origin shares require every selected month’s model totals to reconcile with the official BEV/PHEV total. The market-bloc view isolates China, Japan, South Korea and Germany while keeping the remaining European marques together. The ownership-region view remains a broad continental lens.
