Data & Support

The Monthly Autocast’s forecasts delineate volume by individual model line and assembly plant over a six year horizon for every manufacturer operating in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The scope of the report, therefore, far exceeds that of other automotive trade publications, and creates a comprehensive, yet easily workable, framework for planning.

To ease use of this vast pool of intelligence, each subscription offers the following elements of analysis and support:

Industry Outlook

This monthly report keeps you abreast of recent events by providing a written overview of the industry’s performance and analysis of how these developments will affect sales and production. Over 50 tables and graphs support this assessment, and provide a comprehensive forecast of the market’s future volume potential by OEM.

Model & Plant Forecast

Offered as an adjunct to the Industry Outlook, this forecast forms the core of The Monthly Autocast’s analysis through providing a detailed breakdown of North American production activity.

Product program charts and plant capacity figures are also included.
