Overview

Engineering the next production era.

OEMs and industrial manufacturers rely on us to navigate electrification, software-defined products and smart-factory economics, without losing grip on today's cost and quality.

The industry is managing three transitions at once: electrification, software-defined vehicles and new competition from fast-moving manufacturers. Margins depend on getting platform bets, battery sourcing and plant productivity right in parallel.

Our automotive & advanced manufacturing team brings together sector specialists, data scientists and implementation experts, working as one team with clients from the boardroom to the front line.

Questions we help answer
  1. 01How fast should we shift our portfolio to electric, and in which markets?
  2. 02How do we build the software capability to compete on the in-vehicle experience?
  3. 03Which plants and suppliers should anchor our future footprint?
How we help clients

6 areas where our industry teams bring deep expertise, proven methods and hands-on support.

We help manufacturers decide how fast to move to electric, which platforms to build and how to secure batteries and raw materials. Choices are tested against demand, policy and cost scenarios.

We design operating models, partnerships and talent plans for in-house software and connected services. Vehicles become platforms that improve after they are sold.

We raise plant productivity with lean methods, automation and data, and scale proven practices across global networks. Gains show up in cost, quality and flexibility.

We combine should-cost modelling, supplier collaboration and design changes to take cost out of every vehicle. Savings are achieved without compromising what customers value.

We help manufacturers and dealers modernise retail, move toward direct and agency models and grow parts and service revenue. The customer journey becomes simpler and more profitable.

We assess and build adjacent businesses in charging, fleet services, financing and data. Each is evaluated for its real economics, not just its appeal.
