What Auto Infos does

Auto Infos is a French B2B digital media platform and trade publication serving automotive industry professionals, operating under the legal entity EDITIONS TECHNIQUES POUR L'AUTOMOBILE ET L'INDUSTRIE (ETAI) SAS. The publication delivers daily automotive industry news, expert interviews, market analysis, and event coverage across five core verticals: distribution, fleet management, aftermarket, heavy vehicles (poids lourd), and energy transition. It also operates a sub-brand, L'Automobile & L'Entreprise, targeting corporate fleet decision-makers. The platform is described as 'le magazine de référence' (the reference magazine) for French automotive distribution, repair, and fleet services.

The underlying technology consists of a content-rich website (auto-infos.fr), daily email newsletter infrastructure, a webinar/virtual event platform, and proprietary industry events including #CONNECT distribution, #CONNECT FLEET MEETINGS, and Moove On. The subscription and website infrastructure operates on Infopro Digital's shared platform, indicating centralized back-office technology shared across the parent group's portfolio of professional media brands.

Auto Infos generates revenue primarily through recurring professional subscriptions to its newsletter and premium content, supplemented by event sponsorship, display advertising, and paid registrations for industry events and webinars. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer for subscription revenue and direct-sales (field/enterprise) for event and sponsorship revenue. The customer base is segmented vertically across the French automotive industry — distributors, dealers, fleet managers, and aftermarket service providers — with a single-country (France) operating geography. The publication is wholly owned by Infopro Digital SAS, a French diversified digital media conglomerate specializing in professional information services, which serves as principal shareholder and strategic parent.
