Autofile magazine – May issue out now!

How are dealers coping with the Covid-19 crisis? What do they have to do to operate under alert level three? What action will traders face if they flout the law? And what are our industry associations doing? 

What does one of the government’s top officials have to say about protecting our borders during the lockdown? And what record did Ports of Auckland set last month? Autofile answers these questions and many more about what you need to know. And we speak to industry experts and car dealers on the way forward.

We also have plenty of great non-coronavirus stories for you to dive into. VINZ is backing proposals for a director of land transport to oversee the NZTA’s enforcement of regulatory issues, and Audi, Toyota and Volkswagen franchises celebrate success – pre-virus.

In the world of electric cars, Flip The Fleet raises a warning flag that New Zealand’s uptake strategy needs to be overhauled and we look at vehicle manufacturers investing in joint ventures.

Todd Fuller explains why using digital metrics can help dealers succeed, while racing legends around the world pit themselves against each other in virtual worlds. Plus: In-depth industry statistics, the CRC Speedshow and Big Boys’ Toys join forces, new cars and much more.

Digital version only

The team at Autofile is conscious of the need to support our readers, advertisers, industry and those working to protect it.  

While in Covid-19 alert level three, we have decided to produce the May issue of the magazine in digital format only. This avoids putting extra pressure on businesses involved in publishing and distribution. 

We look forward to returning to business as usual as soon as we can. Thank you for your continued support.
