Stress is just how far today's value sits between “norm” (0) and “crisis” (100) — a fixed calibrated scale, not a verdict. It measures pressure, not a prediction of collapse.
Passenger car output currently reads 45 % of 2021, mapping to a stress of 69/100 — elevated pressure, toward the crisis end of its scale.
Across the tracked period the stress has held roughly flat (+0.0 pts).
The value is sourced via independent monitoring; confidence — medium. How it is derived: Avtostat/AEB; recovery is mostly Chinese knock-down assembly, not real production.
History is accumulating since launch — a chart appears once enough daily readings pile up.
| Period | thousand units (passenger cars) | Stress |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 1350 | 0 |
| 2022 | 450 | 87 |
| 2023 | 537 | 77 |
| 2024 | 756 | 52 |
| 2025 | 673 | 62 |
