Global trends and themes

What’s going on ……?

Situation:
• Global automotive industry is undergoing rapid change
• “Mega Trends” are impacting OEMs, suppliers and consumers
• Fuel economy standards, emissions legislation, globalisation, and the rise of
emerging
i markets
k are creating
i new opportunities
i i & pressures

Complication:
• Economic downturn is accelerating the changes:
• After the highs of 2000-2007, slow recovery from 2009-2010
• Financial distress among suppliers and OEMs is leading to consolidation and
constraints on R&D budgets
• Tailpipe emissions remain important but fuel economy standards and CO2
dominate R&D budgets and are the major powertrain technology drivers

Industry undergoing rapid change: “Mega Trends”


impact
p consumers,, OEMs & suppliers
pp

Macro Economic
• Major markets suffered most in downturn – NA, EU, Japan
Environment • Western sales growth “catch-up” until 2014, “real” growth in China, India
p
& Central / Eastern Europe

Legislation • Fuel economy, CO2, safety & end of use legislation increase product cost

• Shift of growth and market power to global institutions


Globalisation
• Regional advantages become a lever for global competitiveness

Model Mix
• More focus on small cars and smaller engines
 Problem for OEMs who rely on large, premium vehicle profitability

• Growing pressures from CO2, and emissions reduction targets


Climate • Consumers want clean transport but don’t want to pay extra for it
Change Debate • New technologies add complexity/risk & cost for OEMs and supply chain

Technology • Complex road maps with no obvious winning technology


Challenges • Shortage of skills and capacity to develop and deliver new technologies

Co
Business • Growth of low cost vehicles and entry of new OEMs into mature markets
Performance • R&D spend level or rising, despite lower levels of industry profitability

• The principal drivers for hardware evolution to 2030 will be emissions


containment and fuel economy improvements driven by the demand for GHG
reduction

• Technology roadmapping studies indicate that hardware changes will occur


incrementally, resulting in a mix of solutions with no obvious outright winners

• The predominant powerplant for the foreseeable future will be the ICE
supported by increasingly sophisticated transmissions

• Performance challenges
g offered by y the introduction of advanced hardware will
provide opportunities to create value for fluid developers, marketers and OEMs

• Early
