The German DAX gained 0.2 percent, France's CAC 40 climbed 0.6 percent and the U.K.'s FTSE 100 was up half a percent.

TAG Immobilien shares tumbled 2.7 percent despite the German property firm ending 2024 on a strong financial footing.

BMW, Mercedes Benz and Volkswagen all rose about 1 percent as industry data showed Tesla's European sales slumped just over 40 percent in February, marking a second straight month dismal sales performance for the company run by Elon Musk.

Fuchs, a lubricant supplier, surged 4.6 percent after naming a new president for its North American operations.

British oil major Shell jumped nearly 2 percent after it announced plans to increase shareholder distributions, prioritize share buybacks and reduce spending.
