Automotive Industry

Embracing sustainability involves managing the flow of materials, information and funds along the supply chain while maintaining a balance with three key areas of focus: environmental, social, and economic. Sustainability in the automotive sector is measured over the entire life cycle of the vehicle, from production to in-use-performance, and up to end-of-life. Materials and energy are the two most significant factors, with over 85% of energy consumption taking place during the in-use life of a vehicle.

To achieve and measure sustainable performance, EFESO can help you to conduct the necessary complex analysis of technological and managerial decisions.

By 2035, 100% of new cars will be connected, and 35% will be electric vehicles. It is not surprise therefore that connectivity is at the heart of OEMs’ strategies. Digital services for consumers are becoming an important revenue stream for OEMs and are expected to generate more than €1,000 per car by 2030.

In the last 10 years, life has changed immeasurably. Consumers are becoming increasingly accustomed to a connected world and are ready for more. Connected vehicles are next in line. This technology is moving fast and the never-ending race to bring the latest systems and features to market is underway. We now need to focus on safety and convenience, enabling 24/7 accessibility, over-the-air updates and remote operations. As well as delivering real-time data to consumers and OEMs, connectivity also plays a key role for EV charging, proactive driver alerts and simplified trip planning.

EFESO can help you to forge deeper connections with your customers and develop a consumer centric model. We have been working with OEMs for over 40 years. In a constantly changing sector which is grappling with technological disruptions and changing customer preferences, we can help you to anticipate needs and develop solutions. We understand the industry – and the road ahead.

Resilience is a concept now commonly used in supply chain management to describe the capability of a supply chain to absorb shocks and effectively adjust to new circumstances. During the first half of 2020, demand for most goods cratered as economies worldwide went into lockdown because of Covid 19. In 2021 the shortage of chips led to a drop in car production of more than 11%. Sailings by ocean carriers were cancelled, manufacturing capacity was cut, and workers everywhere were displaced.

EFESO can help you prepare for any future disruptive event so that you are in a position to respond effectively – making your operation more resilient. We have developed a range of integrated services and capabilities which help organizations to identify priorities, manage risks and define sustainable strategies along the E2E value chain.
