       Entering its 22nd year, Automotive News Europe remains the
       unrivaled source of news products for people doing business in
       all facets of the European automotive industry.

       Today, the level of depth and understanding that Automotive
       News Europe provides is more crucial than ever because the
       industry is in the middle of a huge paradigm shift.

       The ongoing digital transformation is affecting everything from
       vehicle engineering and manufacturing to the way that cars are
       sold and serviced. In addition, social media is changing the entire
       customer experience.

       These challenges can only be managed if there is communication
       and cooperation between manufacturers, suppliers and dealers.

       With its well-researched stories, commentaries, analyses and
       data, Automotive News Europe is the preferred information source for decision-makers and opinion
       leaders operating in Europe. Our products help them build the foundation needed to make the right
       business decisions.

       Our monthly magazine complements our strong website, autonewseurope.com, which provides
       up-to-the-minute news on the key developments affecting the European industry. Our subscribers
       can count on us to give them an overview of what is happening in the industry with our free daily
       newsletter. If there is breaking industry news to report, our readers will receive a news alert with all
       the key details.

       In addition, our interactive vehicle assembly plant and powertrain plant maps offer the most
       comprehensive overview of what is being made at more than 230 factories. Our special supplements
       cover a wide array of topics. The Car Cutaways supplement shows the key suppliers to the most
       important vehicles sold in Europe. The Talk from the Top special issue provides insights from the
       most powerful auto executives in the region.

       Automotive News Europe also annually hosts a high-caliber congress – the next takes place in
       Turin, Italy, June 5-6, 2018 – as well as gala events such as the Rising Stars and Eurostars awards
       dinners. The biggest names in the industry attend these events, which make them great opportunities
       for networking.

       Automotive News Europe offers the most diverse, most comprehensive suite of products and
       events in the region. We invite you to take advantage of our exclusive access to help you reach your
       premium target groups via print, online or face-to-face.
