“Strategic Analysis of the Global Automotive Market for IT Mobility Platforms”
This study provides an overview of the different IT mobility platforms being developed by automotive and non-automotive suppliers by providing connected vehicle services to the consumer as well as the entire electric vehicles ecosystem. This research service also gives a competitive overview of different platforms being developed by companies such as IBM, Bosch, Siemens and others. Detailed analyses of different IT mobility platform applications such as smart charging, vehicle to grid communications, and payment and billing solutions are also provided. Finally conclusions and strategic recommendations are also provided for key market participants ranging from vehicle manufacturers to core automotive suppliers to IT companies.
Market Overview
A mobility platform can be incorporated in the vehicle, smartphone or charging end and therefore, it is critical to offer cloud-based services on it, as it can be used to deliver diverse services for drivers and the entire stakeholder ecosystem. Traditional automotive companies are focusing purely on the EV segment but IT giants, such as IBM, are looking at a complete mobility platform that supports all services. By 2015, many traditional automotive and IT companies will be running completely cloud-based mobility platforms that will support and provide all types of connected services. "There is increasing opportunity in the emerging EV segment for traditional IT companies to develop solutions that will take care of many consumer-facing and back-end services such as billing, roaming, authentication and grid management, says the analyst of this research. The main reason behind this development is the need for an EV owner as well as other stakeholders to monitor energy, making such a solution a must-have rather than good-to-have.
