Whitepaper: How the Global Automotive Industry is Approaching the Energy Transition

Automakers are facing the challenge of decarbonizing their value chain, with a focus on reducing Scope 3 emissions, particularly in the use phase of vehicles. Some automakers have set aggressive carbon reduction targets while others have opted for more moderate approaches.

In this whitepaper, we investigate the rate of conversion from the internal combustion engine as the primary propulsion system to the electric motor.
