About this event
The automotive retail industry is undergoing a massive transformation as more and more consumers are opting for the “Product as a Service” (PaaS) model and are abandoning the traditional Purchase / Break-fix model. Recent industry reports indicate that the PaaS business model will become the dominant business model in automotive in the next few years and OEMs and Dealers must re-define their relationship and find innovative solutions to optimise the current business model in preparation for the future. Industry experts believe that the two models will run in parallel for many years and therefore it is imperative to work on both simultaneously.
