To succeed in a future of electric vehicles, manufacturers must understand and prepare for the profound effects of this transformation on operations and labor requirements.
Recycle or reuse? That’s the decision for companies looking to profit from millions of retiring EV batteries. What’s the business case?
Sales of electrified vehicles will seize a third of the global market by 2025 and 51% by 2030. Are governments and the industry ready?
Advances in technology will create thousands of new jobs in the coming decade. How will automakers find computer scientists, engineers, and tradespeople with the right skills to fill them?
