The path from automaker to mobility provider

Automotive World looks at the way mobility services are impacting the automotive industry

Special report: The path from automaker to mobility provider

Automakers could be considered the original mobility providers; where they face new competition is from companies seeking to provide mobility services. The growing interest in and popularity of innovative mobility solutions, coupled with worsening traffic and pollution, high costs of motoring, and public acceptance of sharing and subscription models, is causing many people to rethink the need to buy and own vehicles.

As a result, the automotive industry’s current sales-based business model looks unsustainable over the long term, forcing automakers to explore new commercial opportunities such as data services and shared mobility.

Get it right, and automakers could secure a share of a market forecast to be worth US$3.7tr by 2050, But get it wrong, and those same automakers could effectively become Tier 1 suppliers, building vehicles to specification for fast-moving, asset-light tech companies running large mobility service fleets.
