Optimise the residual value of a new model before launch
Comprehensive forecasts
Our experienced analyst teams prepare comprehensive, independent residual value forecasts that cover 30 influencing factors including: product design, function, specification, quality, pricing, sales planning, channel strategy and brand image.
Actionable insight
Our experts offer advice at every stage in the development of a new car or LCV enabling you to accurately evaluate the key success factors which will influence your vehicle's residual value performance. Our recommendations help you maximise return on investment for your customers and boost sales for your car.
Maximise profit
Every percentage point improvement in residual value performance can save manufacturers approximately €1m in discounts and rebates for every 10,000 vehicles sold. More attractive lease rates increase new car sales: a powerful sales proposition for both business and retail customers.
