The automotive industry is facing an unprecedented period of change. For the first time in over 100 years, the vehicles we produce are a result of revolution, not evolution.
The industry needs to react. Increasing, and fluctuating, demand for Electric Vehicles (EV) is causing stress on a supply chain made up of new suppliers, new businesses, new routes and new communication channels.
OEMs are facing a race to keep orders fulfilled during unexpected spikes in demand.
The automotive industry is facing the biggest challenge of its existence: OEMs and Tier 1s are learning they must adapt or die.
Part of that adaptation means leaning on trusted partners to help guide them through some of the challenges. In addition to providing the essential supply chain safety net with our proven critical delivery services, Evolution Time Critical offers a consultative approach, working with customers to build in emergency contingencies when suppliers and routes are first identified and mirroring the customer’s EV division’s entrepreneurial approach.
After another announcement, this time from the UK government banning the production of pure-ICE cars from 2030, the work we have been doing as an industry to integrate EV production into our supply chains will be critical to future success.
An increasing amount of our work at Evolution Time Critical is now with EV manufacturers and suppliers.
Spikes in demand are nothing new, whether that is due to vehicle launches, run-outs or supplier issues causing stress in the supply chain, solving these issues and keeping production going is Evolution Time Critical’s core strength.
By providing a white-glove service and fully manned 24/7 operations centres, we manage each job from end-to-end. We empower our specialists to fill the communications gap between OEM and supplier, think laterally and adapt to the situation to find flexible, bespoke solutions.
The shift in our industry is unparalleled in its history, it is an exciting time and we are relishing the challenge of working ever closer with our customers to help drive the change towards and electrified automotive industry.
