At the forefront of new mobility concepts
The automotive sector is at a point of technological revolution with a rapid shift towards electric vehicles and tech features. Progress in technology and infrastructure has given rise to new mobility concepts alongside new kinds of services like Software-as-a-Service and Mobility-as-a-Service. The current trends of sustainable mobility, automation/digitalisation, connectivity, including the internet of things, and customer experience have tech firms emerging as players, while OEMs are extending their business models. The technological and regulatory infrastructure within jurisdictions take on a crucial role, as they set the playing field and the limits for what smart cities can be.
At a time when the automotive industry is facing tremendous challenges, we operate at the cutting-edge of new mobility concepts, teaming up with our tech, transport and wider infrastructure experts. Our profound understanding of market dynamics in the automotive industry helps us to anticipate trends instead of merely reacting to them.
