2000 EDITION ANALYSIS AND STATISTICS THE FRENCH AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY THE FRENCH AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY - 2000 EDITION INDUSTRY THE FRENCH AUTOMOTIVE Comité des Constructeurs Français d’Automobiles Comité des Constructeurs Français d’Automobiles 2, rue de Presbourg – 75008 Paris – Tél. : 01 49 52 51 00 – Télécopie : 01 47 20 02 46 – www.ccfa.fr CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE The French automobile market enjoyed a firm, solid upswing in 1999, impelled by renewed confidence as the economy improved, the steady introduction of new models, declining prices and lower more consumer-friendly interest rates. All in all, 1999 was an excellent year, and 2000 may turn out to be the best of the decade. Demand was also strong in Western Europe, where 15 million new vehicles were sold, and French automakers reported faster growth than other marques. Global production of French automakers reached a record level of more than 4,800,000 units. While underpinning the market, confidence is also crucial to the special relation- ships that link customers and their dealer networks. The automobile, which is both a source of pleasure and a means of transportation, is not an ordinary product. Maintaining selective and exclusive distribution channels safeguards the interests of consumers, dealer networks and manufacturers. In this way, it guarantees balance and consistency for all parties, while enabling the develop- ment of sales practices and structures based on future-oriented approaches and methods. The Comité des Constructeurs Français d’Automobiles has expanded its commu- nications strategy to include topics addressing the relationship between the auto- mobile and society, in particular the environment, transport modes and safety. By publishing educational brochures on specific topics and hosting forums to pro- mote better understanding of the data and challenges underlying the basic issues UTOMOBILES ’A associated with the use of motor vehicles, our aim is to provide quality informa- tion and illustrate how the automobile, society and cities are intricately related. RANÇAIS D As part of this comprehensive strategy, our traditional Analysis and Statistics F publication concerning the French automotive industry has also undergone cer- tain changes. With its focus on facts and figures, it provides a complement to our Internet site (www.ccfa.fr), which has also been significantly expanded.
