Well, yeah I guess but there are also many production facilities outside of Europe. South Africa for example assembles BMW, Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen, Opel, Volvo and exports some of them to RHD markets like the African RHD countries, the UK, Japan, Australia and NZ.

There are VW facilities in South America, USA, Mexico, China. BMW has production facilities in India, Egypt, USA. It's the same with just about every other European or Asian manufacturer.
