For the EU, car manufacturing is 7% of the GDP,

I'm surprised, but it checks out with a quick check:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1128973/revenue-motor-vehicle-manufacturing-european-union/

Annual revenue of the motor vehicle manufacturing industry in the European Union €1.2 trillion (2022)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_European_Union

GDP $19.4 Trillion. (2024)

So although the numbers are not the same year, it's just below 7% comparing 2 years apart. So close enough IMO.
