Konzernmodelle

English translation: Group models

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Konzernmodelle
English translation:Group models

Marketing / Automotive market research
German term or phrase: Konzernmodelle
"Adressbestellung für Konzernmodelle" is one of the services provided by a market research company for a car survey.

The "Adressbestellung" refers to the procurement of respondents' addresses, but I'm not sure what "Konzernmodelle" could mean.

"Vehicles concerned" would make perfect sense in this context, but in normal German, this wouldn't mean this (perhaps in horrible "would-be English" German). Or could it refer to "corporate vehicles"?

Any suggestions or explanations very much appreciated. Thanks, Ian

Explanation:
Presumably, they procure addresses of respondents driving models which are manufactured by the group(s) covered in the survey.

As Angie pointed out, this may also refer to makes, i.e. the whole range of brands manufactured e.g. within the Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Skoda, Bugatti etc.)
