The fourteenth edition of Roland Berger’s Automotive Disruption Radar finds that one country is now leading and reshaping the automotive industry.
Driven by advances in artificial intelligence (AI), industrial operations are evolving – from product development to execution on the factory floor. While global competitors such as the US and China accelerate their investments and innovation, European industry remains deeply reliant on foreign technology and infrastructure.
Our conversation with Thomas Schäfer, CEO of the Volkswagen brand, focuses on the path to affordable e-mobility and the brand's strategic realignment. The focus is on new models, technological innovations, and the courage to embrace radical change – with the goal of securing Europe's long-term competitiveness in the automotive sector.
