Carmakers are currently releasing their latest financial results – either Q1 or Q2 (and H1) depending on when their financial year starts.

Many companies are reporting losses but a few are either posting profits or promising results depending on challenges in the industry. Autovista Group wants to know what you think is the biggest drain on an automotive company’s profits at present. Is the development of electric technology causing problems, or the push for autonomous driving? Are restructuring efforts affecting results or do you think carmakers are putting money aside for potential emissions fines and other legislative issues?
