Welcome to the Q1-2008 issue of Automotive Quarterly Review. The principal aim of this publication is to provide a regular bulletin, rich in data, to give users a detailed summary on the state of the major car markets, car producing regions and carmakers worldwide. I believe Automotive Quarterly Review offers an unrivalled package of: consistency; scope; detail and value for money.
The Review is divided into three sections:
SECTION 1: COMPANY UPDATES
This section provides the latest financial results of the leading carmakers and their consolidated subsidiaries. Also presented in this section are summaries and analyses of significant corporate activity, sales and production news and new product plans.
Please note all the figures giving percentage changes reflect comparisons with the year-ago data unless stated otherwise.
SECTION 2: NEW REGISTRATIONS
Over 200 tables and graphs give a comprehensive picture of the state of the world's major and minor car markets, from both global and local perspectives. The coverage includes: total industry volumes, new registrations by segment, by group, by brand, by model. Plus forecasts.
In total we have upwards of 600,000 figures to present in this section. We hope we have summarised, sorted and dissected this information in ways which will make the data readily accessible for subscribers' needs. If you have any comments or requests for additional information we will be pleased to hear from you. The data in Sections 2 and 3 can be e-mailed to subscribers on request.
The data in sections 2 and 3 is all drawn from the databases of Polk-Marketing Systems, one of the world's leading suppliers of data to the automotive industry. Comprehensive though the data in this review is, it is merely skimming the surface of the Polk-Marketing Systems' databases and subscribers with more detailed queries such as new registrations by engine size, by postcode, number of doors, number of valves per cylinder, etc., are invited to contact Polk-Marketing Systems.
From Q3-2005 we began to include, new registration data for six new markets: Bosnia-Herzegovina; Chile; Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Yugoslavia. From Q3-2006 we are also pleased to include Russia.
SECTION 3 - PRODUCTION
Having considered the demand side of the equation in Section 2, the final section of the Review examines supply. Worldwide production by country is provided, with forecasts for 2007. Detailed production by model is shown on a quarterly basis for all the most important producing regions: China, Japan, Mercosur, Nafta and western Europe.
From 2006 we began including data for an additional seventeen countries.
