What Impact Does the EU Battery Regulation Have on the Automotive Industry? During one of the sessions at the ICBR held in Basel, Switzerland, participants discussed the implications of the new EU battery regulations, which came into effect in August 2023, for automotive manufacturers. This article provides a summary of the key points raised in that discussion. https://lnkd.in/gu48geP6

ICDP weekly Blog: Seeing through the mist The core of ICDP’s activities is our collaborative research programme which has been running for over thirty years at a European level. This brings players from across the distribution sector – sales and aftersales, manufacturers, dealers, parts distributors and suppliers of services and technology – together to develop a better understanding of the challenges facing us all, and how to address them. https://lnkd.in/e89u4Ah4

Big ideas are rolling at the second DMaaST EU Project Consortium Meeting hosted by Trace Labs, with Ema Lovšin leading the way! 🎯 We’re defining the next steps, powered by OriginTrail, to make manufacturing stronger, trusted, and more reliable. 🤝

IPC has been closely following the hearings this week, especially the discussions surrounding Henna Virkunnen, the EVP Candidate for Technological Sovereignty, and Stéphane Séjournéé, the EVP nominee for Prosperity and Industrial Strategy. Their portfolios will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of a competitive electronics manufacturing ecosystem in Europe. As we await the final steps in the confirmation process, we want to highlight again the urgent need for a comprehensive electronics manufacturing strategy. This is a crucial step toward securing Europe’s leadership in technology and innovation. The time to act is now. https://lnkd.in/e26rR-6D 

To prevent a prolonged collapse of the European automotive sector, it is vital that governments and manufacturers work closely together—wake up!!! To all European governments, you have an obligation to create a favorable regulatory and financial framework. And to all manufacturers, you must innovate and adapt swiftly—very swiftly—to this rapidly evolving market, or you will all end up standing at attention before the Chinese flag. It is time to act, not to engage in penny-pinching calculations.

🚗WEEKDAY POD🚗 This week on Motor Trade Radio, powered by MOTORS, we’re in conversation with industry guru Steve Young, discussing ICDP’s latest European Top 50 Dealer Groups. Every year, the Top 50 analyses the financial standing of the biggest franchised groups by turnover, and it has been doing so for 10 years. This means Steve is uniquely positioned to track the ebbs and flows of individual groups and the ongoing impact of consolidation on the sector as a whole—which is certainly a major theme of the latest Top 50. Plenty of changes this year, especially in the Top 10. How UK groups performed. And why Switzerland consistently punches above its weight https://lnkd.in/eBru6eEW

Today marks an important step forward for the semiconductor industry!
