Automotive Brands – Who Owns What

2018-Holden-Calais

There are many automotive brands in Australia, and some that have fallen away. It is a lazy Saturday morning and the question popped into my head about who owns what now.

There have been many articles done before, but these all are out of date, as this one will be in a few years time.

The ownership of the worlds automotive brands is a moving landscape, with the Chinese and Indians starting to flex their muscles.

Below is a list, pretty much off the top of the head, of the current situation. I’m sure I may have missed some brands, but I tried to limit the list to brands that many Australians would recognise or remember .

If I have missed something glaringly, or some obscure brand that happens to be your current favourite, please feel free to rant and rave to yourself 🙂
