About Cox Automotive Europe
Cox Automotive Europe is proud to be a Master Sponsor of Faconauto 2026, taking place 4-5th March at the Palacio Municipal de Congresos in IFEMA Madrid. As Spain’s leading event for the automotive retail sector, Faconauto brings together more than 900 dealerships, senior leaders and key industry partners to explore the trends shaping the future of the market.
At the event, we’ll showcase how Cox Automotive’s connected ecosystem supports the complete lifecycle of a used vehicle - helping dealers and retailers improve efficiency, accelerate stock turn, and drive stronger profitability.
Our brands Codeweavers and Manheim will also be on‑site, ready to speak with attendees about retailing, financing and remarketing solutions designed to help dealerships adapt and thrive in a rapidly evolving market.
Speaker Sessions
The online-to-offline advantage
Consumers increasingly want a smoother, more joined‑up experience between researching online and getting support in person, which creates a real opportunity for dealers in 2026.
Paul Humphreys, Managing Director for Retail at Cox Automotive Europe, will be sharing new consumer insights – with a particular focus on Spain – to show what buyers expect from an ideal online‑to‑offline journey and how to balance technology with the human touch.
