TRANSFORMATION IN THE EUROPEAN USED CAR MARKET
The European used car (UC) market is seeing unparalleled attention and investment.

New, well-funded channels have emerged, as OEMs struggle to simultaneously manage the powertrain transition and investments in software-enabled vehicles. OEMs’ pursuit of downstream value is creating a clash with the disruptors: UC supermarkets, vertically integrated competitors, and digital platforms.
