Distribution is vital to
the car industry. It entails supplying new cars to dealers,
selling them (and financing the sale) to final customers,
providing service and repair, and then re-marketing used cars. Car purchase
and operation is one of the largest elements of consumer
spending
in developed economies - it is also one with a high emotional
content. In addition the distribution sector is a major employer.
Car distribution has been the focus of attention from consumer
and regulatory bodies, questioning whether the current system
provides the greatest choice and value. ICDP has been working
since 1994 to provide a factual analytical base for understanding
the current system and for seeking innovations. It has been
a consistent source of research and ideas.
ICDP's research programmes are supported by a wide range of
organisations - including car dealers, manufacturers, component
suppliers and governments.
