Friend of ICDP and the leading expert on the US dealer environment, Glenn Mercer, will join us fresh from the halls of the NADA Show to provide an overview of a study looking at how, following the pandemic, supply shortages and talk of changes to the franchise format to support electrification, the dealer business model will evolve in the US.  What’s the outlook by department, what are the general themes that affect all parts of a dealership, and where will US dealers end up in terms of profitability compared to pre-pandemic norms?

By holding both dealer and OEM owned inventory in a compound, so freeing up dealer space and enabling lower cost swaps, distribution centres have long been part of New Vehicle Supply best practice. In an era of omnichannel, and after a period of short supply and high build to order where much storage capacity was lost, has the distribution centre been rediscovered as a solution, and if not, why not? How can distribution centres deliver better availability, cost of stock and sales for national and regional markets?
