Recent benchmarks show that automotive players aim to reduce scope 1 & 2 emissions between 30 - 85%. One key success factor is best-in-class “Energy Efficiency Management”, based on full end-to-end transparency of a firm’s energy consumption from national energy grids into single actuators of a production line. TC’s analysis shows that transparency on energy consumption usually stops at plant level, with the consequence, that globally billions of euros of energy reduction potentials are not being addressed at all. Let us help you to create the required transparency and show the path forward boosting energy efficiency from individual machines up to global production footprint based on our unique calculation approach and well-balanced levers

Automotive markets with “pure BEV OEMs” such as Tesla and Chinese manufacturers on the one hand, and the gradual transformation of established OEMs like BMW, Mercedes, Audi or VW away from combustion engines towards BEVs on the other, are undergoing significant changes. This requires major adjustments in key areas such as "Aftermarkets" as the way on how "customer loyalty" can be ensured while sustainable margins are achieved will no longer be the same. Those adjustments can be both - a curse and a blessing. A curse, if important developments are implemented too late or only half-heartedly. A blessing, if opportunities such as the professionalization of the customer experience, the AI-based use of vehicle data over-the-air or the application of innovative software solutions can be materialized. Based on our experience, we see this as a great opportunity for Automotive players to open new horizons by: - "Attacking upside potentials" by moving away from reactive to proactive mode - "Realizing bottom-line potentials" by optimization product- and logistics costs - "Personalizing operating models", by switching towards highly customized service offerings

The increasing complexity in the automotive industry requires new ways of working in engineering to meet rapidly growing requirements in terms of time-to-market, productivity, and maturity. Today, organizations are still stuck in a “transformation jam” and suffer from rigid, inflexible, and fragile engineering systems. We have seen many Target Operating Models (TOM) of automotive suppliers being by far too resource intensive, slow and costly. The future TOM emerges by mapping the demand with complexity & costs: We see three working models allowing individual adaptions to segments and tasks, to create the conditions for the new engineering environment meeting your budget, quality and timeline goals.
