#Stellantis CEO, Carlos Tavares: “The Company's performance in the first half of 2024 fell short of our expectations, reflecting both a challenging industry context as well as our own operational issues. While corrective actions were needed and are being taken to address these issues, we also have initiated an exciting product blitz, with no fewer than 20 new vehicles launching this year, and with that brings bigger opportunities when we execute well. I want to thank every employee for their teamwork and commitment during this very consequential chapter of our story.

Automotive, above all EU and AMS, are facing headwind, that is clear. I listened to to this report at the same time thinking to latest interview from Ferrari's CEO about unique pieces crafted (85%) for each single Ferrari's model (https://lnkd.in/dXWCWnJg). One key challenge for large organization with many brands is to keep the real nature and uniqeness of each brand and combine that with the concept of platfrom. I cant imagine the challenge to make a Maserati unique on a common platform and include so different brands. Or a Lancia or Alfa Romeo All the end-user of those brands have complete different market and expectations. This convergence remembers me the car-radio, when I was a kid all car-radio were different and were fighting for being different, then they become all the same and integrated. So the fight to converge or diverge is on #automotive

I am sitting at the airport after two days of very interesting presentations at the “Technischer Kongress des VDAs” in Berlin. I was very much impressed by the quality of the speakers and the content during the conference. Certainly the transformation of the industry was in the focus, reaching from electrification, charging infrastructure, Hydrogen, the final solution for long haul? Software Defined vehicle to how does KI influence the driver experience. Beside automotive industry topics, a big discussion was around how to secure Germany as important hub for the industry. There has been a very good panel discussion today with the conclusion that we need much more speed in decision making processes, need clear supporting guidelines from politics and very importantly need to work together - the industry, politics, social partners and employees. We need to think more positive, no comments and complaints about what does not work, instead we need to find solutions, ideas with a clear vision and a lot of courage. This is exactly our vision within our Mobility Coverage Team at UniCredit. We are there for our clients to find solutions, generate ideas to support the transformation of the automotive industry. #vda #automotive #UniCredit #mobilitycoverage #transformation

Our best wishes for a healthy and prosperous 2024 to all our MBitioneers, their family and friends, and everyone else who already helped in making last year amazing 🤗🎆🎉🍾 Let's make 2024 a year of growth and, of course: ambitious innovation! 💡 New products, a steady list of ever-growing software integration projects with Mercedes-Benz, and a software development campus will bring new challenges and opportunities! Just like in 2023, we at MBition will be pushing the automotive software innovations forward, alongside our worldwide Mercedes-Benz RD colleagues! With the overall economic outlook still being murky and unpredictable, there is certainly no guarantee for success. But then again, there never was. When MBition set out to revolutionize the way software is integrated and played onto #MercedesBenz infotainment systems in 2017, it was just the vision of a few Managers and Software Engineers. Driven by the certainty that more daring and creative approaches were necessary, in order to push infotainment systems into the connected digital future that consumers were already demanding. Now, just 5 years later, #MBition is very nearly 1.000 #MBitioneers strong and our direction of success has been firmly established. While at the same time, the scope of our involvement into more areas of development has seen the overall complexity of this operation shoot up exponentially. In keeping with this expansion of tasks, the teams had to grow rapidly too. Now, in 2024, our office space will keep up with them as well! 🏗️ And with the launch of our first, completely in-house-developed infotainment system, for the brand-new Mercedes-Benz E-Class last year, our list of support-tasks, rollouts and latest Over-The-Air updates is only set to expand in 2024 📋 And we'll start this year with a bang, even after New Year's is already over: Stay tuned for some announcements at CES Las Vegas, next week! 🎇
