Transformation of the automotive industry and new drive technologies
From the petrol station to the charging station
The transition to alternative drive technologies presents the automotive industry with new challenges on an almost daily basis. New mobility concepts and stricter regulations are creating new framework conditions. The growing number of providers in the e-mobility sector is leading to fierce competition for market share. International market participants, particularly from China, are expanding their presence in Europe and relocating parts of their production to the EU and neighbouring regions. To remain competitive in the long run, cross-industry cooperation and the strategic development of value chains are becoming increasingly important.
