Negotiations with manufacturers

On average, equipment manufacturers represent between 60 to 85% of the manufacturing cost price of a vehicle. According to the Federation of Vehicle Equipment Industries (Fiev) negotiations are very tense with manufacturers regarding the passing on of the increase in costs. The price increases concern electronic components, raw materials, such as steel, nickel, lithium or palladium, energy and transport. The equipment manufacturers mainly negotiate with Stellantis and Renault to set up indices to pass on the increases. They are also betting on innovation, differentiation, moving upmarket and internationalization.
