Management Summary

THE FUTURE BELONGS TO ELECTRIC MOBILITY – BUT IT WILL BE A LONG ROAD › Diesel engines currently have a global market share of 13.5%, but are expected to be surpassed by battery electric vehicles in 2025. Currently, battery electrics only account for 1% of global car sales. The reputation of BEV’s has consistently increased over the last 5 years, yet PHEV, BEVx and FCEV have lost momentum.

› The “battery” is seen as the energy carrier of the future, which seems to reflect a paradigm change as battery electrics were seen as the least promising powertrain option four years ago. › Key drivers for the e-car trend remain range, charging infrastructure, faster charging and decreasing costs: E-mobility increasingly thrives on the quality of its offerings instead of regulatory requirements. Stricter emission standards and high oil prices have become less important in the drive towards e-mobility. › Tesla currently leads the electric race, closely followed by premium brands such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo. Tesla, along with car brands strongly associated with hybrid powertrains and fuel-cells, has benefited from the diesel emissions crisis, while the reputation of the traditional car industry has suffered. › China remains by far the top EV market worldwide in terms of sales.

› New Chinese players, such as LeEco’s Faraday Future and LeSee for example, have not yet fully convinced experts of their electric capabilities. Success of the Chinese internet-giants as new ‘digital’ start-ups is considered critical. They may not be able to develop the best electric cars on the planet, but they may be in a better position than traditional OEM’s to leverage ‘data’ as the fuel of their business models since this has been their core business model for years.

Management Summary C ONNECTED MOBILITY ›

Future technologies are paving the way for new players in the automotive industry as well as disruptive new business models: Tech companies such as Google, Apple, Tencent, LeEco and Foxconn are entering the sector. The perceived influence of Google/Waymo as technology providers for the ‘digital car’ is evident, although the main push still comes from established OEMs. Providers are back in the game and have gained strong momentum as key drivers for the digital car.

It is expected that as soon as 2022 data will play a major role in automotive business models. The USA is seen as a key market for data-driven business models. This may be another reason, besides tax incentives, for a Chinese internet giant like LeEco to build a car brand such as FaradayFuture in the USA. Big data applications show increasing consumer acceptance, but stand and fall with data privacy and security.

AUTONOMOUS MOBILITY ›

Autonomous driving regains momentum in 2017. The once highly hated ‘Advanced Driver Assistance feature’ has turned into one of the most admired features: A steep learning curve over the last five years has changed journalists’ perceptions.

In the eyes of experts, every form of autonomous driving is desirable and some manufacturers are currently trying to fast forward through the race to level 5 ‘full autonomy’. However, autonomous driving is seen as most desirable at “Level 3”. After all, safety remains the key to consumer acceptance of autonomous driving.

SHARED MOBILITY ›

Autonomous mobility also enables a future of new mobility concepts, like transportation by air drone, which is not seen as an unrealistic scenario. The question is when – only one in four think that it will never become an option.

New transportation options, like ride-hailing networks with full autonomous cars, emerge with the continued and future development of ‘Level 5’ full autonomy, the hardware for which is already a production reality.

“Shadow Mode” – AD-hardware will be active on all cars, even those without Autopilot unlocked. In shadow mode, the car isn’t taking any self-driving action, but registers when it would have taken action. This enables Tesla to collect data for self-learning and AD software development.
