MotorPeople&more! ■ Jeff Morrison, Head of GM’s global purchasing, on deepening partnerships with suppliers! Jeff Morrison, who heads GM’s global purchasing and supply chain, shared crucial insights on the evolving challenges and priorities within the automotive logistics and supply chain industry. Morrison highlighted that the industry is currently grappling with significant disruptions, particularly as it transitions towards electrification and automated driving. “We’re moving towards electrified propulsion, and our electrical architectures are changing,” he said. This evolution necessitates deeper partnerships not just with Tier-1 suppliers but extending all the way to raw material sources, especially in the semiconductor and battery supply chains. With ongoing capacity constraints influenced by strikes and fluctuating global market dynamics, Morrison emphasised the importance of securing logistics capacity. “We want to ensure that we can flow materials efficiently to build vehicles and deliver them to customers,” he explained, underscoring the need for preferential treatment from logistics partners. As the EV market continues to expand, optimising logistics becomes even more crucial. Morrison pointed out the necessity to rethink traditional transportation methods: “With the weight of EVs, we need to consider whether existing car haulers are still viable.” The push for innovative solutions in vehicle delivery aligns with GM’s commitment to making the logistics process as efficient as possible. In closing, Morrison called for open dialogue with logistics partners, urging them to share insights and innovations. “Let’s discuss how we can work differently together,” he said, highlighting the goal of building strategic partnerships that align with both GM’s operational needs and future growth ambitions. As the automotive landscape evolves, GM’s focus on collaboration, innovation, and sustainability positions it to navigate upcoming challenges effectively while continuing to deliver value to its customers.

Over the last hours, Continental has made a strategic decision that will redefine our future. We are evaluating the spin-off of our Automotive group sector to form two independent companies. This strategic move is designed to enhance our agility and innovation, ensuring we stay at the forefront of the rapidly evolving automotive industry. Continental's strength lies in our ability to adapt and lead with foresight. By focusing our efforts, we aim to deliver even greater value through pioneering technologies and sustainable mobility solutions. Our commitment to excellence, resilience, and our core values remains unwavering. This transformation marks a bold new chapter in Continental’s journey, reinforcing our position as a trusted leader in shaping the future of mobility. Together, we are not just responding to change—we are driving it. 🚘🛞 #ContinentalAG #Innovation #StrategicVision #AutomotiveExcellence #Leadership
We are evaluating making Automotive an independent company and preparing a spin-off. Due to the increasingly dynamic markets in the automotive industry, we as the Continental Executive Board have decided, following a strategic review, to conduct a further detailed evaluation on spinning off the Automotive group sector and listing it on the stock market. The aim of having two independent companies is to fully harness Continental’s value and growth potential. Markets and customers, especially in the automotive industry, have evolved extremely dynamically in recent months. In response, we are aiming to divide Continental into two independent companies. Following the detailed evaluation, we on the Executive Board will make a decision on the spin-off in the fourth quarter of 2024. A spin-off and listing of Automotive would then be put to a vote by the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting of Continental AG on April 25, 2025. If approved, the plan is to complete the spin-off by the end of 2025. The preparations for a spin-off are already underway. Further details can be found here: https://lnkd.in/e62JDMmZ

🚨Automotive Supplier Transformation continues with Continental spin-off consideration 🏋️♀️ Continental's consideration of a spin-off of the Automotive division shows how much pressure major Automotive Tier-1 Suppliers face to 🎯 transform to cater to OEMs becoming Mobility players 💰 while delivering value and returns to stakeholders. 🥅 What are the pressure points suppliers are facing? 🆕 The Automotive industry is changing, as mobility shifts from a product (buying vehicles) to a service (buying experiences and shared mobility). Carmakers aim at becoming Mobility players, in other words, providing "experiences" based on software differentiation (ADAS, HMI, SDV). This puts pressure on suppliers to double down on cloud, data, AI, and software. All this, while competition is getting stronger. 🆚 Competition from new entrants, such as Chinese suppliers What is the response? Transformation is not a new thing for suppliers. Every couple of years, they re-organise their divisions to find the best mix of operational efficiency and capital allocation. The sale of assets growing at a fast rate and operating in high-growth segments (software) is a common practice among Automotive Suppliers to monetise opportunities. 👉 Delphi split its software business into Aptiv and Powertrains. 👉 Autoliv spun off its software to Veoneer. Continental's Automotive division grew by 10.8% in 2023 to 20.3 Billion Euros. It's the company's biggest division by revenue. It's also the 2nd largest automotive segment among suppliers by revenue, after Bosch's Mobility with EUR 56 Billion. The major drivers of revenue growth for the German supplier are ADAS, software-defined vehicles, HMI and cockpit tech, body, security and aftermarket. They want to turn the new company into the "default system integrator for SDV", according to the 2023 Annual Report. What to expect? The decision is coming at the end of 2024. Whether it happens or not, it shows suppliers must adapt to an automotive industry driven by software, data and AI. What's your take?

Client Development Manager @ Holman | Consultative Sales Leader | Analytical Consultant | Driving Results & Profitability | Expert in Business Development & Cost Reduction
As the automotive supply chain continues to rebound, many fleet operators are still trying to catch up on new vehicle orders after three-plus years of limited availability. Manufacturers and upfitters simply cannot produce vehicles quickly enough to meet this pent-up demand, and while order-to-delivery times are improving, the industry isn't out of the woods just yet. In a recent article, Holman's Brad Blanco stresses that seamless collaboration and communication with your supply chain partners is key to getting vehicles on the road as quickly as possible, particularly as new models come to market. Brad also shares that a growing number of fleet operators are opting to standardize their upfit packages across various vocational units (where feasible) in an effort to get vehicles into service faster. While it's still important to upfit each vehicle for its intended function, standardization can help optimize production timelines, and the simplicity allows for greater flexibility, especially if a particular vehicle model is delayed or unavailable. #supplychain #strategy #upfit #holman #fleetmanager #finance #executive #fleetmanagement #fmc #service #plan #ask
