The top 100 dealers sold around 700,000 new cars. Large dealership groups such as AVAG have over 90 locations and market over 40,000 new cars. Some multi-brand dealers have over 20 brands on offer. Facts, figures, names, portraits and market developments - this is what you will find in the special issue "Germany's major car dealers".



The trade magazine "kfz-betrieb" has taken a close look at the strategies of Germany's major car dealers in the current special edition (publication date December 16). The industry navigator for sales and service in the German automotive trade is a who's who of the major players for new and used cars and commercial vehicles. The editorial team spoke to 55 dealers and now shows on 268 pages what makes the good car dealers successful, which groups are among the top 100 and how the network structures of the manufacturers and importers are set up.



"Most of Germany's major car dealers have not only steered their companies well through the past twelve months. They are also just as well prepared for 2011. And as the prospects and expectations are rather positive, some dealers are already pulling their expansion strategies out of the drawer," summarizes "kfz-betrieb" editor-in-chief Wolfgang Michel. This market is on the move, but the automotive industry remains under pressure.
