The relentless downward pressure on carbon dioxide and particulate emissions from vehicles at the international, national, and city levels is forcing vehicle OEMs to bring to market a rapidly expanding range of vehicles with zero-emission drivetrains. BorgWarner is helping automotive companies around the world meet this demand for decarbonization by leveraging its expertise to produce highly optimized systems and components. As with the end users, the vehicle driving public, there is no “one size fits all” solution and so a range of solutions are needed to best match the needs of the region and decarbonization requirements.

The automotive industry is shifting gears. Global disruption, technological advances, and changing consumer behaviors are altering the automotive industry on many levels all at once. Driven by sustainability and changing consumer expectations, as the automotive industry moves forward to highly fuel-efficient vehicles, reducing the relative environmental impact of the production process becomes more and more important.

Efforts need to be directed toward renewable energy sources not just on the manufacturers but across the entire automotive value chain to make a positive impact on our world.
The aim of this session is to give you an overview on the market status of the renewable energy industry, focusing on solar energy, and to provide you with the insights necessary to begin your energy transition journey. By attending this session, you will discover the challenges faced and tackled by companies that adopt these “green” solutions and how it influences their business decisions.

Automotive OEMs and suppliers alike were arguably among the hardest hit during the Great Supply Chain Disruption developing into a household topic over one year ago. And we are not out of the woods yet; the industry is still reeling from supply disruptions ranging from shortages of chips and other upstream critical inputs, COVID-related factory shutdowns, geopolitical conflicts, and related sanctions, elevated trade tariffs, and ocean freight rates, not to mention congested maritime ports and inland networks.

Macroeconomic conditions such as widespread consumer price inflation and high fuel prices continue to affect consumer buying power and preferences. Stakeholders are increasingly cautious of the next unknown Black Swan event. During this session, we showcase how a leading OEM began harnessing datasets previously considered optional but have now earned their place in the essential toolkit for manufacturers and suppliers concerned not only about profitability but even survivability.

    Despite the year-on-year growth of electric vehicles in many major markets, charging infrastructure is still perceived as a bottleneck for chargeable vehicle adoption. Over the coming years, considerable investments from various automotive and non-automotive stakeholders are expected to support the installation of approximately 80 million charging stations worldwide.
Despite these lofty aspirations, several key challenges remain. Consumers must be receptive to new business models around where and how to refuel, whilst nascent technologies will evolve to reduce compromise in the future charging experience.
