Frost & Sullivan Unfolds the Future of Vehicle Platform Strategies in the Age of CASE

Mobility experts from Frost & Sullivan, Pininfarina, and REE present in a webinar key growth opportunities, new business models, and strategies for mobility market players

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As the automotive industry converges toward Connected, Autonomous, Shared, and Electric (CASE) mobility, OEMs have worked on re-engineering their conventional platforms to accommodate electric vehicle (EV) components such as batteries and motors. However, the industry's transition from a vehicle-centric to a service-centric approach is necessitating the development of new digital platforms (software, back-haul connectivity, and cloud). Future modular EV platforms will be flexible and multifaceted, with various vehicle types and shapes being built on the same program, saving OEMs the time, effort, and money required to launch new models. OEMs will call for partnerships based on their strategies, with traditional OEMs taking a gradual approach, while new developers such as Tesla and Waymo starting ahead of the curve.

Frost & Sullivan invites you to an upcoming Mobility webinar, "Future of Skateboard/Platform Architectures and Benchmarking of Key Industry Players' Strategies" on Thursday, Nov. 19, 2020, at 02.00 PM (GMT)/09.00 AM (EST). Join our Mobility experts Sarwant Singh, Arunprasad Nandakumar,  and Kamalesh Mohanarangam, along with industry stalwarts Giuseppe Bonollo, Senior VP at Pininfarina, and Daniel Barel, Co-Founder and CEO at REE, as they discuss growth opportunities for traditional OEMs, business strategies to accelerate existing services, strategic imperatives on emerging products to help the EV industry stay resilient, and more.
