VM

English translation: véhicules montés

15:28 Nov 23, 2008

French to English translations [PRO] Geography / Markets
French term or phrase: VM Pie charts indicating prospective markets for a new model of car. The main chart shows percentages for the main markets: France, UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, M5, Other EU16 countries and "Others". The "Others" category (shown in the second chart) includes Latin America, Rest of EU27, "Chine VM" and "Reste VM hors E27 AL CH RUS". I presume that E27 refers to the 27 countries in the EU. I'm not sure, though, whether this segment is saying that "AL, CH, RUS" are, together with E27, exceptions to the rest of the VM, or whether they are examples of the "rest of VM".

David Goward France ASKER 16:21 Nov 23, 2008  "Ventes mondiales" is probably nearer the mark than your original answer, but I fail to see what "Chine VM 1%" can mean. Drmanu49 France 15:38 Nov 23, 2008  Could also be ventes mondiales world sales. Automatic update in 00:
