NACE v2.0 Code: G45.1

About sale of motor vehicles

NACE code 45.1 covers the sale of motor vehicles, a critical industry that plays a vital role in the broader economy. This sector encompasses the wholesale and retail trade of passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and other motor vehicles. As a key component of the transportation and logistics infrastructure, the sale of motor vehicles facilitates the movement of goods and people, supporting economic growth and development across various industries.

Production process

The sale of motor vehicles involves a range of activities, including the acquisition of vehicles from manufacturers or wholesalers, the preparation and display of vehicles for sale, the negotiation of sales terms with customers, and the completion of administrative tasks related to the transaction. Dealers may also offer additional services, such as vehicle financing, insurance, and after-sales support.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the sale of motor vehicles include the vehicles themselves, which are typically sourced from 29.1 Manufacture of motor vehicles, as well as showroom and storage facilities, sales staff, and various administrative resources. Dealers may also require access to financing options, such as loans or leasing arrangements, to facilitate vehicle purchases for their customers.

Production outputs

The primary output of the sale of motor vehicles is, of course, the sale of the vehicles themselves. These vehicles are then consumed by a wide range of NACE codes, including 49.1 Passenger rail transport, interurban, 49.3 Other passenger land transport, 49.4 Freight transport by road and removal services, and 77.1 Renting and leasing of motor vehicles.
