The changing auto ecosystem: agency, direct 2 customer and the future role of the dealer

Star-studded line-up of auto industry heavyweights will debate the changing ecosystem in the auto industry in an audience-panel discussion lead by David Betteley, European auto finance community leader at Asset Finance Connect.

• CAPTIVE: Giacomo Carelli, CEO of FCA Bank
• OEM: Tony Whitehorn, former President of Hyundai Motor UK
• OPERATIONS: Neil Smith, ex-operations director of Cazoo
• DEALER: Mark Robinson, CEO, Vantage Motor Group
• MOBILITY & SUBSCRIPTION Chris Kirby, CEO, Tomorrow’s Journey
• FINANCIAL SERVICES Amar Rana, CEO, CrediCar

Topics to be discussed with panel and audience include:

• Will OEMs reverse the current trend towards agency when the supply of new cars increases?
• In-car payments are forecast to reach $86 billion by 2025? What are the opportunities for the OEM, captive and dealer?
• What are the lessons for online retail platforms as they seek to scale their businesses without a ready supply of used vehicles?
• How will dealers manage the seeming perfect storm of agency, digital, consumer duty and commission disclosure? Are they ready to take their role in mobility?
