Driven by increasing competition, new ownership models such as car sharing, emissions targets and regulatory requirements, as well as the push to lower fuel consumption and raise safety standards, automotive technology is advancing at breakneck speed.
Now with viable hybrid, electric, LPG, diesel and biofuel options – as well as connected cars and driverless cars on the horizon – consumers have more choice than ever before.
By planning strategically and acquiring or partnering with the right technology and support companies, dealerships and manufacturers can ensure they not only secure their own slice of the market, but that they can maintain quality and even raise standards.
