Driving the Future

Welcome to Driving the Future, a podcast about where the automotive industry is going, how companies can keep up with the rapidly changing business, and how to shape it for the future.

Show Notes

Automotive manufacturers across the globe are looking to move towards more sustainable practices, with electric vehicles becoming the way forward. But are manufacturers doing enough to build out the shift to electric? In this episode of Driving The Future from Capgemini Invent, we take a look at the benefits, obstacles and solutions to becoming more sustainable in the automotive sector. We’ll discover when it’s best to opt for FCEV or BEV, why some manufacturers are currently being slow on the uptake, and what governments and the industry as a whole can do to ensure their futures are more sustainable.

What is Driving the Future?

Driving the Future is a podcast about where the automotive industry is going, and how not only to keep up with the rapidly changing business, but to shape it.

Fueled by such factors as the climate crisis and the digital revolution, the automotive industry is changing. Whether we’re talking about autonomous cars and electric vehicles or the new customer experiences that digital technologies enable, whether it’s transforming from being an auto manufacturer into an organization that provides mobility services, the map of the industry is being re-drawn. Are you going to follow the path that others lay out, or grab the wheel and shape the future of mobility yourself? The promise of technology is big, but how do you get there?
