Functioning as a profit-making auto manufacturer is as hard now as it has ever been, thanks to various world events making it more expensive than ever to produce vehicles. Tightening emissions regulations are forcing brands to spend billions developing new technology for road use, which ultimately forces them to retail their creations for more money than they used to. The result is that consumers can’t afford to buy new cars as they used to, which ultimately reduces sales and, in turn, profit for the manufacturer.
