ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The end of the fuel excise discount will lead to increased fuel prices, which could impact demand for fuel-hungry vehicles in showrooms

What it means for stock and ordering

Dealers who have stocked up on vehicles with lower fuel efficiency may need to reassess their inventory and pricing strategies to remain competitive

The NRMA's warning to motorists not to panic suggests that there may be a surge in demand for fuel-efficient vehicles in the short term, which dealers can capitalize on

Competitor response and marketing

Competitors who are quick to respond to the change in fuel prices by offering incentives or promotions on fuel-efficient vehicles may gain an advantage in the market

Dealers who can effectively communicate the value of their fuel-efficient vehicles and offer competitive pricing and financing options will be well-positioned to attract price-sensitive customers

Taking action

One decisive action a dealer could take this week is to review their inventory and pricing strategies to ensure they are well-positioned to meet changing customer demand and remain competitive in the market
