Navigating change and unlocking opportunities

Shifting development efforts from carbon-based to carbon-neutral technologies: Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) carefully reallocate their development budgets from internal combustion engine (ICE) to new energy vehicle (NEV) technologies, recognizing the importance of NEVs in certain regions and the need for further development of ICEs. 

Flexibility in production: Flexible manufacturing processes are crucial to enable simultaneous production of ICE and NEV drive technologies in one factory based on demand, despite the higher manufacturing costs and increased car prices. 

Sales transformation: OEMs embrace new sales models, utilizing data from the external vehicle cloud (e.g., functions on demand) for software services and transitioning to agency models combined with direct and online sales for vehicles. 

Emergence of new OEMs: New players, such as NEV start-ups or tech companies, enter the market due to the low entry barriers to develop EVs, shifting the focus from hardware (e.g., engine) to software-enabled functions and services (e.g., digital services embedded in the ecosystem) as a differentiation factor. Stay ahead of the curve in the evolving automotive industry with our comprehensive solutions.
