French term or phrase: carrelage commun

This is a term in a meeting report between a car manufacturer and its association of European dealers, discussing corporate identity

La nouveauté, c’est que Xxx a décidé, pour ceux qui représentaient au moins 3 marques du Groupe, qu’une option était possible consistant en un carrelage commun.

I can only think that it means a joint sign outside the car dealers??

English translation:the brand's hallmark floor tiling

Explanation:
I have certainly seen brand-specific floor tiling in car dealerships (standard colour etc and with logos incorporated). I think this means that all dealers carrying three or more marques would have the floor tiling that went with the brand ID.

I had wondered about the word "livery", but that is usually applied to vehicles rather than premises.

common/collaborative tiling

Explanation:
Carrelage is specific. It IS tiling. There's nothing wrong with the literal translation "common tiling' ...collaborative if you like.
