Welcome to the latest digital supplement of Motor Finance, available to read for free on all devices

Flexible consumer models for accessing vehicles will expand the industry’s customer base. And leasing has been paving the way, as described in an AutoTrader consumer report we cover here.

We also look at how car manufacturer Daimler is moving from making cars to providing mobility services in the future.

Tesla may be having problems with its CEO and former chairman’s behaviour, but Elon Musk’s company is the envy of other manufacturers when it comes to electric powertrains. We cover the challengers to Tesla here.

We also look at used car finance by original equipment manufacturers, Volvo and a prospective IPO, and the effect that WLTP has had on motor finance and car sales in September.

I hope you enjoy reading this issue.
