Executives leading the nation's major public dealership groups said last month that those companies continue to advance their digital auto sales, with some selling thousands of vehicles through their own branded platforms and others rolling out new tools to more customers.
Group 1 Automotive Inc. disclosed during a first-quarter earnings call that it sold 5,800 vehicles in the U.S. through its AcceleRide platform from January through March, a tally that made up 9.6 percent of the group's total U.S. retail sales.
Asbury Automotive Group Inc. shared that its Clicklane tool handled more than 5,600 vehicle sales in the first three months of this year — with March being the best month in Clicklane's history.
