Automotive manufacturers face global competition and serious regulatory intervention that affects the way they do business. No matter how you work with the auto dealers and car manufacturers industries, you must keep up with the news they make. Follow the trends set by consumers and auto companies to get a complete picture of the automotive landscape.
Trends affect car companies in a variety of ways and you should have solid news sources that can predict and explain the history and future of the industry so that it makes sense to your business. Read automobile manufacturer publications as well as general news resources to keep updated on the latest news and in-depth information. Look for auto manufacturers news and trends in a variety of places.
1. Get email alerts and automotive distributor newsletters.
2. Subscribe to magazines for automobile companies.
3. Participate in associations for car manufacturers.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Accept emails to keep up with auto maker information
Important auto maker email alerts, RSS news feeds and automobile manufacturer information are easily accessible and can be forwarded to your inbox daily. Take advantage of these services so that you don't have to go searching for news when you need it.
I recommend: Automotive Industry Today provides daily updated news about specific auto manufacturers that can be accessed by company, country and topic. Keep up with auto news and trends across the industries through Automotive News.
Read about the latest auto manufacturers industry news
Take time to read in-depth reports and magazines that cover the auto manufacturers industry further than the headlines. Often the best information that can help drive your own business decisions will come to you through off-beat news items that you happen to catch when reading automotive distributor magazines.
I recommend: Newstin gives hourly updates that could affect your business as well as articles by columnists that follow the industry trends, particularly those in the European Union. Motor Trend has an online magazine that is easy to navigate and follows the trends in the auto industry as well as covering news headlines. For new-model news, check Edmunds Inside Line.
Join trade groups for automobile companies
Associate with other auto company professionals to provide you with an inside track to news. Get involved with your automotive distributor association and take advantage of the networking opportunities to develop relationships. Regularly read the group's newsletters and other communication vehicles to find out what new distribution platforms are being introduced.
I recommend: Keep up with trends affecting the industry through the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers. Participate in a group such as the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association that follows your business news and offers events and conferences to keep up with trends.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • Find a reliable source for automobile manufacturer information that you can assign to an associate to keep up with daily. By taking this task off your daily agenda, you're creating more time in your day while bringing a junior member of your staff further into the fold.
With all the choices in the world, choosing an automobile manufacturer for you business can seem daunting. If you can narrow down the specific needs of your business, however, the task of picking the right car maker is quite simple. The auto manufacturers industry is large, but fruitful, and plenty of automobile companies exist for every business need.
Common businesses that rely heavily on auto manufacturers to operate include taxi and limousine services, construction crews, delivery services, and funeral homes, to name a few. To connect with the rest of the country in a car-driven culture, however, nearly every business owner will find himself needing to purchase or lease a new vehicle for his operations. Auto companies can provide a variety of vehicles for your business:
1. Set up a fleet account if you need multiple vehicles for your day-to-day operation.
2. Buy specially-built limos, hearses, and more from private car manufacturers.
3. Shop for commercial vehicles from car companies.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Use fleet car companies to obtain multiple vehicles for your business
Buying or leasing through fleet services is economical for companies buying multiple vehicles for their day-to-day business operation. It can be cars for employees, rental vehicles, taxis and more.
I recommend: See if your business is eligible for Ford fleet purchases. Your company must buy or lease at least five new vehicles a year or manage 15 total vehicles to qualify. Check costs of commercial fleet or small business ownership at Toyota.
Contact custom car manufacturers for limos, hearses, and small buses
Limousines and hearses are vehicles built on an extended or otherwise modified luxury car chassis. Most small buses are extensions of fleet and delivery-style vans with rear areas rebuilt for passenger space.
I recommend: Check vehicle specifications at VIP Coachworks which specializes in limo and custom car building. Check the available inventory of limos at American Limousine Sales. Federal Coach builds limos, hearses and small buses. Accubuilt also makes limos, as well as specialty vans and hearses.
Check automotive manufacturers' provisions for business vehicles
Though your purchases may not qualify you as a fleet, major companies are willing to work with businesses to custom-design vehicles for seating, payload, engine, towing and other requirements. Inquire about incentives, discounts and maintenance service for businesses.
I recommend: Examine General Motors' provisions for small business. Their Work-Ready Equipment program gives low-cost options for customizing certain trucks and vans. Chevrolet has a Business Central network to find and maintain the right work vehicles for your business. Dodge sells cars, trucks and vans for business.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • Purchasers of limos, hearses, and other custom vehicles may find a product close to their requirements at a discount price from auto dealers of used vehicles. For start-up businesses, this can help your bottom line.
- • Many car companies offer hybrid vehicles as part of their programs tailored to business. Evaluate whether going green can save your company in the long run and help achieve environmental goals.
If your goal is to work as a manager for one of the auto manufacturers in the United States, then it is best to prepare for your desired position with the right auto manufacturers management education and training. Whether you want to work for custom car manufacturers or one of the country’s private car manufacturers, you are sure to advance in the auto manufacturers industry.
An advanced degree is not required for a position with an automobile manufacturer; however, if you do obtain a degree you may find it easier to find the position that you seek. Otherwise most managers work their way up from entry level positions. To prepare yourself for a career with a car maker, consider the following about auto manufacturers management education and training:
1. Some schools offer specific automotive manufacturers management degrees.
2. Car companies can be the ideal places to gain the training required for a job.
3. Seminars offer additional management training for the auto manufacturers industry.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Earn a degree in auto manufacturers management
While a degree in automotive management is not a prerequisite for a job as a manager, it can give you a leg up. A degree will provide the educational background that many car companies require for a place in their management team.
I recommend: Ferris State University offers a bachelor's degree in automotive management. The degree covers topics that are related to auto dealers and car companies. For an online degree program try Northwood University.
Get training from the auto manufacturers industry
For the best auto manufacturers management education and training it is important to go to the source. Custom car manufacturers and private car manufacturers offer educational programs and training for management jobs within the industry.
I recommend: Chrysler offers current and prospective employees career development training. This training is essential for succeeding with the car company. If you would rather work with Ford Motor Company, check out its manufacturing job information and career programs.
Gain an education in all aspects of the auto manufacturers industry
A specialized education in the auto manufacturer industry is possible through attending formal training classes and seminars. Classes are offered by large corporations, while seminars are usually part of the yearly goals of an association or research institute.
I recommend: Check out the General Motors training program through the Pace Program. It is designed to create auto industry leaders. The Center for Automotive Research is also a great resource for training classes and conferences.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • Gain industry knowledge by taking a job at one of the auto dealers in your area.
- • Consider starting with an entry level position at a car maker. Most companies promote from within, and they will pay for additional education and training.
