Many automotive and industrial companies - especially in Germany - are currently in financial trouble due to the multi-crisis they are facing: slow demand, international trade tensions, cost inflation, technology disruption, challenging competition from China and higher interest rates - just to name a few topics. Oliver Wyman is working with many of these companies - helping them to improve the situation and to find a path to a successful and economically prosperous future. Our team of world-class restructuring practitioners led by Lutz Jaede is working hand in hand with our industry experts to find the right solutions for our clients and help them with their implementation. Our annual Restructuring Report that has just been published, is based on an expert survey across Europe and looks at the current restructuring environment in Europe and its challenges. A successful restructuring requires a deep understanding of the business environment, a robust business model, and a focus on operational performance. Effective collaboration among CROs, financiers, consultants, and lawyers is essential to develop tailored strategies and financing solutions.

🚗 The German government has set an ambitious goal: 15 million battery electric vehicles (BEV) on the roads by 2030.   However, it is very unlikely that this number will be met, as our recent #BCG study with the German think tank Agora Verkehrswende shows. At the current pace, we will fall short by about six million vehicles by 2030. Our calculations show that increased import tariffs on Chinese cars would even widen the gap. Overall, depending on the range of potential measures, investments of 45-65 billion euros would be necessary in the coming years.   Achieving the 15 million target will require well-coordinated regulatory initiatives and thus planning security for the OEMs. From an industry perspective, uncertainty in the market is always a bad scenario. The car industry is one of the key pillars of the German economy, securing millions of jobs. It may sound contradictory, but artificially restricting competition with Chinese manufacturers will not strengthen our industry – rather the opposite would be the case.   🔗 We had a great discussion with Handelsblatt on the findings of the report (German only): https://lnkd.in/dRnvF_39 ▶️ For a deep dive into the topic, find all key results here (German only): https://lnkd.in/duXsFjHS   #ElectricVehicles #Sustainability Dr. Kristian Kuhlmann Christian Hochfeld

❗AlixPartners buys German automotive consulting firm Berylls Exciting news in the Automotive consulting world! AlixPartners has made a significant move by acquiring a majority stake in Berylls, a renowned German consultancy specialising in the Automotive sector. This acquisition includes Berylls Strategy Advisors and Berylls Mad Media, adding around 160 experts to AlixPartners' already formidable Automotive practice. This strategic move not only strengthens AlixPartners' foothold in the DACH region but also expands its global reach with new talent joining teams in the UK, the US, South Korea, and China. Andrew Bergbaum, Global Co-Head of the Automotive & Industrial practice at AlixPartners, expressed excitement about this addition, emphasising the combined expertise in navigating the industry's unprecedented transformations. Founded by Dr. Jan Burgard, Dr. Jan Dannenberg, and Andreas Radics, Berylls has established itself as a leader in Automotive consulting over the past 13 years. The acquisition reflects AlixPartners' commitment to growth in key markets like Germany and its readiness to embrace the industry's shift towards electromobility. The collaboration aims to leverage AlixPartners' global network and Berylls' specialised knowledge to become the new leaders in Automotive consulting, which has been predominantly dominated by BCG, McKinsey, and Roland Berger in the DACH region. Jan Burgard's vision of creating the world's premier Automotive consulting team aligns well with this partnership, promising innovative solutions for clients worldwide. While Berylls Digital Ventures, Berylls Green Mobility, and Berylls Equity Partner remain part of the Berylls Group, this acquisition marks a significant milestone for both firms. With the deal expected to close in the second quarter of 2024, I look forward to seeing the impact of this collaboration on the Automotive consulting landscape. #AutomotiveConsulting #Berylls #AlixPartners

We just wrapped up the Disrupting Mobility Summit 2024 in Berlin. It was truly a „best of mobility“! We gathered with throught leaders from across the globe to discuss the challenges of the mobility ecosystem we‘re facing today - from technological to infrarructural and regulatory hurdles - and the way forward. We have to face those challenges creatively and we have to face them now. It’s the right time for us to launch the Kearney Center for Advanced Mobility today. Our vision is to support the full spectrum of players in the world of mobility to address these challenges and create an ecosystem that addresses the needs of tomorrow. To make mobility more accessible, more sustainable, and more efficient!

No More Excuses: A Unified Software Ecosystem for Germany’s Automotive Industry 🚀 The challenges facing Germany’s automotive industry are undeniable. Recent developments at Ford Deutschland, Volkswagen, and now Bosch highlight the urgency of transformation. However, these are not the end of the story—they are wake-up calls, as I outline in my Op-Ed for German Magazine Focus. https://lnkd.in/dccAgZSn 🚀 The path forward lies in collaboration. 🚀 If the industry continues to act as isolated players, Germany risks falling further behind global competitors who are excelling in software, AI, and digital innovation. We need a unified approach, and the key is a shared software stack—a common foundation for innovation that bridges manufacturers, suppliers, and tech partners. Initiatives like our ZEKI | Zentrum für erlebbare KI und Digitalisierung (ZEKI) show us what is possible when collaboration meets ambition. ZEKI not only conducts cutting-edge research but also develops practical solutions: a versatile AI software stack and a 20-kilometer real-world test environment in the heart of the capital. These efforts must expand beyond isolated projects to form the backbone of a national ecosystem for automotive software. Germany has the talent, the infrastructure, and the tradition of excellence to lead this transformation. But success will depend on everyone - industry, startups, research institutions, and policymakers - working together. A Question for you: 🚀 How can we scale projects like ZEKI to create a truly national software ecosystem for the automotive sector? 🚀 The time for excuses has passed. Let’s work together to turn challenges into opportunities and ensure Germany remains a driving force in the global automotive industry. I’d love to hear your ideas - how do we make collaboration the engine of our success? Let’s discuss!

At this year’s CES, I spoke to Sean Lang from the Future Says podcast by Altair. Of course, we discussed the future of the automotive industry, for example which role AI or autonomous driving will play. For me, AI currently has great potential in R&D – two key takeaways: AI can speed up research processes. The models that can already be generated by AI help to simulate in a different way, allowing to be faster in project preparation and implementation. And also, the development can be simplified thanks to the interaction of AI and software. For example, users can choose whether they want to utilize 30, 50 or 100 % of a possible capacity through pay per use – depending on their current requirements. You can tune into the podcast for more: https://lnkd.in/e3Dvqnqs   A big thank you, Sean, for having me. It was fun to look at the future with you – I'm looking forward to our next conversation!   #AutomotiveIndustry #GenerativeAI #FutureMobility

What trends do you think will shape the mobility sector in the future? Despite facing challenges, last year was a year of progress for the transportation industry, as there was a significant shift among consumers towards sustainability and a rise in demand for electric vehicles, especially in China. My colleagues Kersten Heineke, Philipp Kampshoff and Timo Möller mention that this year, the demand for EVs and Chinese EV OEMs will keep growing. The battery industry will rise, and advancements in AVs will lead to L3-capable vehicles in the market.
