Crises, for better or worse, bring profound changes to industry and society. Since 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic has forced industries to reassess their business continuity plans (BCPs) and reprioritize corporate decisions and investments. Our new normal, in a Covid19-saturated world, continues to evolve. Businesses are now more complex, uncertain, and opportunity-driven. Organizations must adopt lean and agile strategies to remain resilient, seize opportunities that will enable progress and prevent regress, and future-proof their products and services.

This rapid shift from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to EVs has brought a huge opportunity for automobile manufacturers to scale up their EV production. However, this is posing challenges for automobile manufacturers, as they need to invest heavily in a short time span for EV design, development, manufacturing, selling and servicing infrastructure. There are additional challenges related to battery cost, supply chain complexities and manufacturing infrastructure. Contract manufacturing is becoming an increasingly important strategy for EV manufacturers.

Today’s automotive industry faces a historical shift from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to battery electric vehicles (BEV). This shift is profound, dramatically altering the structure of the automotive value chain and the vehicle manufacturing process. This conversion occurs as the industry undergoes a digital transformation. The ICE to BEV project builds a 2020 CAR project on digital transformation by considering the implications of a transition in propulsion technology and a digital transformation in manufacturing for the North American automotive sector.

We are living through a historic time, when advanced technologies continually change how a manufacturer generates value. This new digital era is the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” (4IR). Companies see new technologies accelerating strategic, tech-enabled transformations. Regardless, many manufacturing companies are stuck in the proof of concept (PoC) phase or are running projects that are delivering results far from revolutionary. Add to that the COVID-19 tsunami, a crisis that changed the world in a matter of weeks. It is difficult to predict every aspect of the post-COVID-19 era, but it is already clear the world will never be the same. Even the most conservative industrial player will need to adapt to the “new normal”, with the importance of digital rapidly increasing for the entire value chain. Executives are expected to speed up digital transformation initiatives, changing the operating model forever.
