distributors and dealers outside of North America, the substantial majority of which are independently owned.
In addition to the products sold to dealers for consumer retail sales, cars and trucks are also sold to fleet customers, including daily
rental car companies, commercial fleet customers, leasing companies and governments. Sales to fleet customers are completed
through the network of dealers and in some cases sold directly to fleet customers. Retail and fleet customers can obtain a wide range
of aftersale vehicle services and products through the dealer network, such as maintenance, light repairs, collision repairs, vehicle
accessories and extended service warranties.
