ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The repeal of the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard would immediately impact the types of vehicles that manufacturers prioritize for the Australian market, with a likely shift towards less efficient models.

This change would have a direct effect on the stock and ordering processes for dealers, as they would need to adapt to the new range of vehicles being offered.

What it means for the order bank

Dealers who have already placed orders for vehicles that meet the current efficiency standard may need to reassess their stock and consider cancelling or modifying these orders.

The repeal would also give dealers an opportunity to renegotiate their stock holdings and pricing with manufacturers, potentially leading to better margins.

Competitor response and marketing

Competitors who are quick to adapt to the change and offer less efficient models may gain an advantage in terms of pricing and range, putting pressure on other dealers to follow suit.

Dealers who can effectively market and promote their new range of vehicles will be well-placed to capitalize on the change and attract new customers.

Taking action

This week, dealers should review their current stock and orders, and contact their manufacturer representatives to discuss the potential impact of the repeal and how they can work together to adapt to the new market conditions.
