As the automobile industry emerges from the global economic slowdown, the focus has shifted to high growth markets like China and Brazil. Not surprisingly, global OEMs are integrating these markets into their value chains as products are procured across the globe. However, growth abroad is counterbalanced by challenges at home. Stiff competition is increasing cost pressures at a time when R&D and manufacturing costs are rising in home markets.
The right application of technology can separate winners from losers. How you approach fuel efficiency, safety, in-car infotainment and green technology in the next 18 months can affect revenues for years to come. That’s why you need an experienced partner with global resources and in-depth automotive expertise.
