McKinsey Center for Future Mobility
Partnering with industry disrupters and traditional mobility companies, we are on the leading edge of mobility innovation and technology research. Our aim is to help clients make quick, intelligent implementations in areas like autonomous-vehicle technology, connectivity, electrification, infrastructure enhancement, software, and many others.
Given the oversized role of technology in future mobility, we draw upon broad, deep expertise in tying these pieces together. From supply chain through design and implementation, our research and service in this domain ensure that the best thinking and latest tech are brought into the service of environmental, social, and commercial goals.
Examples of our work
Helping a premium OEM develop its connected services proposition
We identified the market potential of €4 billion across more than 25 connected services use cases. This was bolstered by a “willingness to pay” analysis for such services, zeroing in on key desired features that were then validated across 120 customer B2C and B2B OEMs. The final output was an implementation plan with ambitious timelines to start roll-out and monetization immediately.
Developing a technology strategy for a tier-1 automotive supplier in e-mobility
Delivering a detailed market and OEM-sourcing analysis, we developed a technology portfolio strategy for this component’s manufacturer. This included a product and development roadmap along with a clear phase-out plan for “likely-to-sunset” products, in addition to diversification options and potential M&A areas to bolster support of the growing e-mobility market.
