Diagram of associations and who owns whom within the industry

You’ve probably had the same experience, but sometimes even we get a little confused by the number of associations, alliances and automotive groups that make up this wonderful car industry. For example, do you remember the Iranian company Iran Khodro?

The following diagram was created by the English magazine Car Magazine, a piece of work they seem to produce every so often. According to them, the landscape hasn’t changed much since three years ago, when there were still some satellite brands from GM that no longer exist. Some Chinese brands are missing and Porsche has been included within the Volkswagen group, while not all the agreements and associations between brands are represented, simply because it would have been an absolute tangle that would drive anyone mad, according to the author, and of which if you click on the image, you will be able to see it enlarged.
