We are back with our Red Sofa videos from ALSC Global in Detroit, sponsored by Unipart Logistics. Our Chief of Content Christopher Ludwig spoke with Criss Edwards, President and Managing Director North America at Unipart about the transformations in the automotive industry.
When it comes to EVs, the landscape is evolving rapidly. Last year, EVs held around 7.5% of the US market share, and this year it’s grown to 8%. While there is progress, it’s not quite at the pace many OEMs had anticipated, especially as they juggle two independent supply chains: ICE and EVs.
“OEMs will spend a lot of their time vertically integrating the EV components within their supply chain that that’s the area that will get most of the attention,” Edwards said.
The role of 3PL providers like Unipart is set to become even more crucial in the face of these complexities. As OEMs increasingly focus on vertically integrating EV components, 3PLs will be the glue that holds the supply chain togetherRead our live blog to get exclusive coverage and insights from our two-day event!
