In 2024, the ADAC breakdown aid in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) recorded a significant increase in operations. Overall, the ADAC helpers moved over 965,000 times a year, which corresponds to an increase of around 4 percent compared to the previous year. The regions on Cologne left-south were particularly affected, which also includes the Euskirchen district, where the ADAC breakdown aid recorded around 62,000 missions. These developments were illuminated in a comprehensive balance sheet, which was published by radioeuskirchen.de

The most common causes of breakdowns in North Rhine -Westphalia are as follows: Over 50 percent of cases can be traced back to problems with the car battery. Engine -related difficulties follow in second place. The starter, the lighting and tire problems also play a role. In addition, the number of breakdowns in electric cars has almost doubled, which is due to the increasing number of electric cars on the streets. In a record case, on January 9, 2024, the ADAC helpers had to move out about 5,500 times due to extremely cold temperatures.

missions and causes in detail

The balance sheet shows that an average of 2,644 breakdown help operations took place in NRW. The winter months, especially January and December, were most affected. This is in accordance with nationwide trends, where the highest number of missions nationwide was also recorded in January. This month of the Alone there were around 377,000 missions, which made it one month of the year with the most operational. This confirms that the need for breakdown aids tend to be higher in winter.

The record number of missions is also influenced by the average vehicle age in Germany. This was 10.6 years in early 2024, which increases the risk of breakdowns. With about 45 percent, defects or empty batteries are the most common cause of the breakdown, followed by engine problems that make up 22.1 percent of cases. In 2024, around 43,678 breakdowns occurred, which corresponds to an increase of 46 percent compared to 2023. In half of the cases, the starter battery was the main problem, as well as kabinett-online.de confirmed.

digitization of breakdown help

A remarkable trend within the breakdown aid is increasing digitization. Over 600,000 breakdowns were digitally reported in 2024 via the ADAC breakdown aid app or the web app. This represents an increase of 20 percent and indicates that the users are increasingly using digital technologies in order to transmit their vehicle data and their location, which facilitates the help process.

In summary, it can be said that the increase in breakdown cases in NRW is not only due to the progressive aging of the vehicles, but also to the increase in electric cars. The ADAC breakdown aid provides with its comprehensive measures and the commitment of its employees, which made it between NRW and over 46 million kilometers nationwide, ensure that drivers quickly receive support even in difficult situations - a sign of our always changing mobility landscape, as well as
