COMPARISON OF LEADING ELECTRIC VEHICLE POLICY AND DEPLOYMENT IN EUROPE

In response to rising concerns about health and climate impacts, electrifying passenger cars is seen as a key measure to reduce pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions from road transportation. Electrification of passenger cars also allows for the diversification of energy sources in the transportation sector as it allows for a shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Major obstacles to mass-market uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) are the comparatively high vehicle price, limited driving range of EVs, and limited availability of charging infrastructure.

A Global Rewiring: Redefining Global Value Chains for the Future

whitePaper | January 14, 2023

Current macroeconomic developments make it clear that returning to a pre-COVID-19 “normal” is not in sight.

Supply Chain Illumination: The Value of Mapping Supply Chains

whitePaper | September 12, 2022

The supply chains of many organizations are becoming increasingly complex. At the same time, potential business risks around supply chains are growing, due to increasing regulations regarding supply chain security, emerging cybersecurity risks, international sanctions, environmental and carbon concerns, product quality issues, climate-related weather events, increasing supply costs, and numerous other potential disruptors. Most organizations don’t fully understand their supply chain. Companies often underestimate the number of businesses, actors, and countries involved in different stages of producing their products. A security or production vulnerability in just one part of a given product’s chain could have a huge impact on an organization’s production, mission, or business if something were to interfere with the supply.

Whitepaper Supply chain reinvention

whitePaper | February 15, 2022

Before COVID-19, global supply chains ticked a lot of boxes: lower labor and operating costs, wider product ranges and greater reach to new markets. But the vulnerabilities and visible failures of global supply chains during COVID-19 were there for all to see. Lead times expanded exponentially. Manufacturing capacity stalled. Ports became congested. Transportation ground to a halt. Excessive reliance on one location or one supplier caused a domino effect of expensive downtime along the line.
