Autofutures® North America
The North American light vehicle and powertrain production outlook is covered thoroughly in our report – vehicle production by OEM, by platform, by plant, by model series, by body style, and, for those companies to whom powertrain is relevant, engine and transmission installations arrayed along similar lines. The forecast for each appears in the report segmented into quarters or by calendar year. Autofutures® is your resource for product life cycle plans, detailed platform analysis, sales and inventory analysis, and comprehensive notes on the assembly plants.
Each month, Autofutures® subscribers receive the Near-Term Outlook, our opportunity to tell you what we think about the industry news of the day and its potential effects on our forecast assumptions. We review the latest monthly data on industry sales, production, and inventory levels – across the North American industry and for each automaker. The same information is provided every month, in a consistent and convenient format, so that you can track the industry along with us.
Every quarter, subscribers get the hard-copy version of the full North American forecast, a thick binder of detail in a highly readable format. It is accompanied by our Report to Subscribers, where we tie together the economic, sales and production trends for those readers who like to get the background behind the numbers. In addition, our Report includes feature stories by our analysts and executives on topics of interest to industry participants – recent examples include an analysis of the impact of demographics on vehicle design, and recommendations on how suppliers should deal with the multiple audiences for new product development initiatives within each customer.
An annual subscription to Autofutures® gives you quarterly hard copy but it also includes our proprietary Autofutures® Desktop software as an accompaniment to every subscription at no extra charge.
