Automotive & mobility

Platform economics, supplier health, and the software-defined vehicle transition.

Case studies: 1
Insight pieces: 3
Practice leads: 5

Tier-one suppliers and vehicle makers ask us the same question in different words: which platform investments pay back before the next powertrain shift? We answer with teardown-grade cost models and supplier health assessments, then help negotiate the outcomes.

The practice also covers the software-defined vehicle transition, where the hard part is organizational: one owner for the electrical architecture, one release calendar, and a purchasing team that can buy software as deliberately as it buys castings.
