| | Why automotive manufacturers are struggling to crack online sales
At a conference last month, Volvo Deputy CEO Bjorn Annwall spoke about the difficulty for car makers in conducting vehicle sales entirely online – revealing that the company had abandoned its ambitious target of completing half of global vehicle transactions online by 2025.
When asked how many private customers at Volvo conduct their entire transaction online, Annwall frankly admitted that the figure was “zero percent” – adding that one difficulty with online sales targets was defining exactly what constitutes an online sale.
“It’s very hard to stream a car to the customer,” he added. “It’s a physical product […] They need to go get this somewhere.” |
