ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The Australia-EU Free Trade Agreement has the potential to significantly impact the pricing and margin of vehicles in the Australian market, with reduced tariffs on imported vehicles likely to increase competition and put pressure on local manufacturers.

What it means for pricing

The reduction in tariffs could lead to a decrease in vehicle prices, making them more competitive in the market and potentially increasing demand, which would be beneficial for dealers who can adapt quickly to the changing market conditions.

The agreement could also lead to an increase in the range of vehicles available in the Australian market, as European manufacturers may be more likely to import their vehicles to Australia with reduced tariffs, giving dealers more options to offer to customers.

Impact on stock and ordering

Dealers who have a strong relationship with European manufacturers may be able to take advantage of the agreement to increase their stock of imported vehicles, potentially gaining a competitive advantage over other dealers.

The agreement could also lead to changes in the way dealers handle marketing and lead handling, as they may need to adapt to a more competitive market with a wider range of vehicles available, and potentially more customers looking for deals on imported vehicles.

Taking action

This week, dealers can start reviewing their current stock and ordering processes to identify opportunities to take advantage of the potential benefits of the Australia-EU Free Trade Agreement, and begin building relationships with European manufacturers to stay ahead of the competition.
