Green transition in Automotive

Sustainability targets in the automotive industry have sparked a technology revolution in electric vehicles and energy transition.

How can OEMs prioritize sustainability and grow?

The pandemic has accelerated a shift in values: cleaner air and greater sustainability are recognized as both urgent and achievable. Evolving into a responsible organization and prioritizing sustainability are key imperatives for success. And original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can drive value and impact by combining digital and sustainability.

OEMs are leveraging learnings and capabilities from other industries, such as Energy, Utilities and Software & Platforms to radically reduce their impact on the planet.

The automotive industry has a remarkable opportunity to create more affordable, energy efficient and convenient solutions.
