The automotive industry operates globally. Every year, more than 60 million vehicles are manufactured and sold in the world. The major players in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia are competing for a share in a marketplace with significant over-capacity and financial pressures.

This intense competition forces all manufacturers to look constantly for new and more efficient ways of doing business, particularly in the distribution of their products and the structure of their dealer representation.

The information and services provided by EG Consultancy support this quest at all levels.

The introduction of New Block Exemption legislation will introduce a number of important changes to Sales and After-sales activities and will drive the industry towards a single free market.

The opening of borders will put increasing premiums on the ability to monitor performance at retail level. Today, the efficiency of dealer network is more essential than it was in the past.
