Interesting article and comments from Franck NARO vice president for industrial strategy and corporate operations at Renault Group, at last week's ANE Congress. "HPU [hours per unit] is now very famous, everybody in the industry is talking about it,” Naro said. "We were very surprised because before that it was just pure manufacturing people who were discussing it.” Oliver Wyman is very proud to play an important role in this conversation and drive to improve HPU through The Harbour Report®, published since 1981, as the authoritative guide to automotive manufacturing worldwide, and is a leading competitive analysis tool used by OEMs to benchmark performance, develop strategies, and improve operations. The next study will launch this fall and Oliver Wyman looks forward to continuing to support measuring and benchmarking HPU among the global manufacturers.

Shanzhai in reverse ? → Stellantis will distribute Leapmotor electric vehicles in Europe starting September 2024. → The joint venture, Leapmotor International, is majority-owned by Stellantis (51%). → Initial launch countries include Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Romania. → Plans to establish 200 sales outlets by the end of 2024, expanding to over 500 by 2026. → The move leverages Stellantis’ extensive retail distribution network and Leapmotor’s BEV technology. → Further expansion planned for South America, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific by late 2024. → The collaboration raises questions about the adoption of the “copycat” or “Shanzhai” strategy, as Stellantis aligns with a Chinese EV manufacturer. → It took decades of Shanzhai by Chinese auto companies to learn and innovate. Will Western automakers flip the script and play the other side ? 🤔 Source: https://lnkd.in/eFbfcTvH, https://lnkd.in/ewnF_Xt6 #AutomotiveIndustry #EVs #Stellantis #Leapmotor #Innovation #Shanzhai

🔋🚗 The Future of Mobility and Renault Group's Strategic Approach to Raw Materials 🌐🏭 As the global automotive and mobility landscape undergoes rapid transformation, driven by electrification, shared, and autonomous trends, companies like Renault Group are proactively adapting their strategies to stay ahead of the curve. One critical aspect of this evolution is the sourcing and management of raw materials, particularly steel, which plays a vital role in the production of vehicles. Renault Group, including its alliance with Nissan, has been working on optimizing its raw material supply chain to ensure a sustainable, efficient, and resilient sourcing strategy. This approach is essential not only for maintaining competitive advantages but also for meeting the increasing demands of the changing mobility ecosystem. A noteworthy example of their strategic initiatives is the exploration of a 'Local to Local' model. This approach involves the establishment of strong partnerships with local suppliers and manufacturers in key regions, which can significantly reduce logistics costs, lead times, and environmental impact. Moreover, it allows the company to be more agile and responsive to regional market needs and fluctuations. Taiwan, with its robust industrial base and strategic location in the Asia-Pacific region, can potentially serve as a reliable source of materials like steel for Renault Group. The island's advanced manufacturing capabilities, coupled with its commitment to sustainable and innovative practices, aligns well with the values and objectives of the automotive giant. As we move towards a more connected, electric, and shared mobility future, it is crucial for companies to adopt a holistic and forward-thinking approach to raw material supply and management. Renault Group's proactive efforts in this domain are commendable and will undoubtedly contribute to their continued success in the dynamic and exciting world of automotive and mobility. #RenaultGroup #Nissan #RawMaterials #Steel #LocalToLocal #Taiwan #MobilityOfTheFuture #AutomotiveIndustry [Disclaimer: The information presented in this post is based on publicly available sources and does not represent any confidential or insider knowledge.]

 The Future of Automobile Manufacturers: Predictions by Stellantis CEO Follow me for more technical data :https://lnkd.in/evN3jc94 The automotive world is undergoing significant changes, and according to Carlos Tavares, CEO of Stellantis, only a few manufacturers will survive the coming decade. During a televised interview on France 2 on May 16th, Tavares shared his pessimistic yet realistic view of the automotive market. Increasingly Fierce Competition: Competition in the automotive industry is intensifying, and not all current manufacturers will survive. According to Tavares, in 10 years, only about five major manufacturers will remain. Predicted Survivors: When asked about the number of surviving manufacturers, Tavares replied: "From my point of view, in 10 years, there will be about 5 manufacturers… Including Stellantis, I assure you." He mentioned four specific names: 1.Tesla : Although not directly named, it was described as "a major American manufacturer of electric cars." 2.Toyota : Or "a major group like Toyota." 3.BYD : Or "a major Chinese manufacturer like BYD." 4.Stellantis : With the probable inclusion of Leapmotor. The fifth manufacturer could be Volkswagen, another American group, or any other manufacturer well-established globally. Imminent Natural Selection: Carlos Tavares predicts a "Darwinian decade" where natural selection will drastically reduce the number of dominant manufacturers. According to him, companies like Renault will not survive without being acquired by larger manufacturers, such as the Chinese company Geely. The primary cause of this disappearance would be the scale effect: insufficient production volumes to remain cost-competitive and continue offering affordable vehicles for the middle class.  Realism and Challenges Although Stellantis surpasses Renault in terms of global volumes and financial margins, Renault remains more accessible to the middle class. Carlos Tavares has often been optimistic about Stellantis's competitiveness compared to its competitors, including Tesla.  Conclusion Carlos Tavares's vision of the future of the automotive industry is both alarming and realistic. The consolidation of the market around a few major manufacturers seems inevitable, driven by competitive forces and economic challenges. It remains to be seen whether these predictions will come true and which manufacturers will emerge as the undisputed leaders of the automotive industry. #Automobile  #AutomotiveIndustry  #Stellantis  #CarlosTavares  #Tesla  #Toyota  #BYD  #Renault  #Volkswagen  #FutureOfAuto  #NaturalSelection

Stellantis CEO points out to investors that only 13% of new #connectedcar are activated for services. Investors expectations are cooled down. Expect more OEMs to start backpedaling on connected services profit projections. Consumer trust in how oem will use their data is falling off a cliff (<20%) and regulation is grinding away at business models that were poorly thought out in the first place. #privacymatters

This is an interesting development... Renault Group is taking a distinct path amongst OEMs by focusing on public transportation solutions, notably with plans to run a driverless minibus service at the 2024 Roland-Garros tennis tournament in Paris. The deployment is part of a collaboration between Renault Group and autonomous driving tech firm WeRide. During the tournament, from May 26th to June 9th, the two companies will deploy self-driving minibuses which will ferry passengers between a designated car park and the Roland-Garros stadium complex. By partnering with WeRide , Renault aims to harness specialized expertise in deploying autonomous technologies effectively in public transit. Also the company plans to offer a modular platform based on the New Renault Master, which could integrate automation solutions from various specialist partners like ensuring adaptability and catering to the specific needs of different regions and municipalities. The shift towards mass transit solutions addresses the practical and urgent needs of urban centers, particularly in managing emissions in low-emission zones. The Renault Group has been conducting trials for several years, including the "Mach 2 project" that was announced back in 2023. This project envisions the integration of a fleet of autonomous electric minibuses into the public transportation network of Chateauroux Metropole, France, starting in 2026.
