Disrupted vehicle distribution
Europe’s auto retailers are bracing for big changes as manufacturers turn toward the agency direct-sales model and subscription plans that give them more control over the relation with customers.
As part of the ANE Congress on June 13-14 in Paris, a panel of experts will discuss the pros and cons of the changes and provide an overview of what steps are being taken to make Europe’s car distribution landscape more sustainable.
The “New distribution models in Europe” panel will include Mathias Holst, who is Chief Financial Officer at Lynk & CO, which relies heavily on car subscriptions in Europe; Lars Himmer, who is executive vice president at Semler Gruppen, which accounts for one in four new car sales in Denmark; and Steve Young, who is managing director of auto retail consultancy ICDP.
