Manufacturers & Importers

We can help you sell more cars more profitably. With a focus on optimal residual value performance, we work with you on your commercial strategy from before the launch or facelift to the end of commercialisation.

How we can help you

car manufacturers

We give you the data and insight you need to populate the right segment with the right product offering. We support you during the conceptualisation phase, when you design your specification strategy and when you take decisions towards optimised pricing and volume planning.

We help you to reach the total cost of ownership position you require to sell more cars more profitably. We associate residual value forecasts to your vehicle that the industry trusts. You can benchmark residual value performance and track how you compare with the competition.

What is the role of the manufacturer in the future?

How will manufacturers help realise the vision of a shared, electric, autonomous future? Watch Dr. Christof Engelskirchen, Chief Economist, Autovista Group, explore the role of manufacturers in the future of mobility.
