Production surge prompts revised forecast; fleet worries persist

1 min read

Welcome to Cox Automotive’s new Insight Quarterly (IQ), helping you stay informed about the industry’s most important trends and topics.

IQ is a coming together of our annual Insight Report and previous quarterly AutoFocus. It’s packed with industry insights, forecasts and opinions providing a clearer vision of the road ahead. 

The acceleration of global car production, coupled with the undeniable appetites of new entrants to the UK market, make this a time of unparalleled fascination and opportunity. And although the new car market’s performance is still catching up with pre-pandemic levels, there is much to be positive about and discuss.  

Read why we’ve adjusted our 2024 predictions, how EV manufacturing has been revolutionised, why the role of the dealer is as important as ever and why fleet operators have questions for OEMs. You’ll also find out why the old saying “The customer is king” remains as true as ever.   

Including articles from Grant Thornton, the ICDP, Regit and the Association of Fleet Professionals’ Lorna McAtear, this first edition also has our latest forecasts for the UK new and used markets, adjusted to reflect the lessons of Q1. 

I hope you enjoy IQ and find it both valuable and, indeed, shareable. Why not let me know what you’d like to see us cover in future editions?
