Recent and forthcoming significant product actions are itemised for key West European carmakers (including Japanese transplant operations), providing comprehensive launch timing charts together with detailed commentary at model-range level.

Unique and Authoritative

Manufacturers' future product plans to 2015

Virtually all leading carmakers have seen the future. Yet, whilst each and every one has mapped out its particular product plan to get there, few, if any, know - apart from their suppositions - the likely route to be followed by most of their competitors. Instead of steaming full speed into an increasingly foggy future, strategists want to know as much as possible about their rivals' well-guarded secret future product plans.

With over two decades of experience gained in Western Europe's volatile car market, AID has become the leading industry forecaster of strictly confidential product plans in this major car-producing region.

Information at a glance

Presentation at model-range level

This latest publication investigates future product action expected from major car manufacturers over the next decade. Recent and forthcoming significant product action through to the year 2015 is itemised for all key European carmakers, including Japanese transplant operations, containing detailed timing plans and informed commentary on most manufacturers' future model plans.

Each manufacturer's model-range is dealt with separately, with charts and commentary laid out to assist the professional industry observer to gain maximum insight into each manufacturer's future models, derivative range and floorpan rationalisation plans.  A sector summary is also provided to easily compare timing plans between manufacturers.

By professionals - for professionals

The aim of this study is to give the professional reader advance information of who is doing what - and when. A study of easily understood timing charts, specification tables and informed commentary make this publication a professional reference tool, to be used as a supplement to the internal forecasts of vehicle and component manufacturers. This confidential ‘insider’ study is now available to ensure that the latest changes in manufacturers' product plans are brought to your notice.

Reliable commentary

Rationalisation of models brought about by take-overs and industrial co-operative ventures are identified and cross referenced, with likely launch timings given for European market availability.

Floorpan and structure relationships between existing and future models are shown graphically on clearly presented timing charts. Details and timing of major facelifts are also shown, as are salient component changes and any significant revision to option offering and retail availability. Photographs are also included where available.

The information provided is drawn largely from reliable and confidential AID sources and is produced solely as a professional and reliable planning tool for strategists working in the automotive or related industry.
