🌐 Exploring demand-led innovation for a sustainable automotive future 🚗💡   The UK's commitment to net zero by 2050 is reshaping the automotive sector, with the goal to achieve zero-emission status for all new cars by 2035. Navigating this shift requires aligning decisions with future policy scenarios, tech developments, material supply chains, and customer expectations.   🌱 Material supply: a key player in sustainability   As a major consumer of foundation industries, the automotive sector's evolution necessitates a deep understanding of changing material demands. Identifying potential opportunities, risks, and disruptions is crucial for sustainability.   🚀 Driving innovation   Join us in spearheading demand-led innovation for foundation industry materials in the automotive sector through UK Research and Innovation’s Transforming Foundation Industries Challenge, delivered by Innovate UK, EPSRC and ESRC: Economic and Social Research Council. In collaboration with global consultancy Ricardo plc, we're hosting industry roundtables in February to explore future material use, requirements, and innovations.   🔗 Join the Conversation   Your insights are invaluable for shaping a sustainable automotive future.

The European automotive landscape is shifting. Over the past years, we've navigated through various macroeconomic shocks—from rising energy prices, successive global supply chain disruptions to political instability, to changing regulatory standards. These factors have reshaped the industry, increasing the appeal of alternative production hubs. To stay ahead in the global race, the European #automotivesector needs a radical rethink. It's crucial for us to commit steadfastly to change, proactively review the management of our product portfolios, and embrace innovation with open arms.  Growth also requires concerted efforts from both policymakers and industry leaders. Clear political and economic incentives are essential for investment and innovation. By fostering a supportive ecosystem, the #Europeanautomotive sector can unleash its full potential. Europe is and remains the heart of Amaneos. From here, all our portfolios bring their solutions to the world. The continent’s rich heritage of innovation and ingenuity continues to drive progress and shape the future of mobility—one fueled by resilience, creativity, sustainability. #InnovativeDrive #FutureMobility #AutomotiveIndustry #Innovativemobility

𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲? Declining sales and a market changing at unprecedented speed do not suggest the opposite. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬? Decision-makers are starting to grasp that profit pools in mobility are shifting away from vehicle sales. In this context, profit opportunities are growing, not shrinking. To capitalize on this this shift, a deep understanding of new growth areas is key. Within a series of 3 whitepapers, the Mobility Pioneers derive strategies on how to harness these emerging growth areas. The first of three whitepapers delves into how Germany’s role can evolve within the global mobility landscape. 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐭: Circular Economy plays a key role in adressing this issue.

Today I had the great pleasure to speak at the Automobilwoche-Konferenz in Munich in the Motorworld Group. What an impressing venue!! 😍 More than 200 attendees from the automotive industry came together to discuss the challenges and opportunities the market is facing. Topics like sustainability in the supply chain, in the factory, sustainable mobility and much more. #cisco, together with #computacenter has been part of the discussion with “Sustainability in the IT and through IT”. Based on market analysis, we see that for 65% of companies in the German automotive industry, sustainability is important for the future viability of the business model. Spot on! 💡💡💡 Where are you? Let´s talk about the opportunities how IT and Digitization can contribute to the journey to net-zero. 📣 #automobilwoche #sustainbility #digitization

Topics so relevant, to the community and global reach. Last week was a fantastic one. I had the opportunity to meet in-person a great core team responsible for #goTOzero retail project-sustainability at #VW Group and all #brands. One key takeaway from the workshop was the importance of shifting mindset from viewing costs to recognizing value drivers as the key to achieving decarbonization in the value chain. It emphasized the necessity of engaging markets with best practices. #goTOzero #goTOzeroRETAIL #Sustainability #Cleanenergytransitions

Next workshop with my Core team colleagues from VW Group and brands. What is special - everyone is onsite, some of us had to start at 4 a.m. to join the meeting. But it does worth it when we come together, spend the day in intensive  - sometime very heated - discussions and then all say that it was great: ✅ How to scale and engage more markets to join the retail decarbonization? ✅ How to handle the legal topics and standards of retail sustainability? ✅ What are the benefits of VW energy consulting for retailers, what did the pilot tell us? ✅ How to organize annual goTOzero retail conference best and what is the main focus? These are just some topics on the Agenda. The time flew super fast and we've all got our to do’s to bring the project to the next level   Happy indeed to be a part of the great team and feel the power of the brands! We are strong together!
