We strongly support the launch of the European Commission’s Strategic Dialogue on the Future of the Automotive Sector. This initiative is a critical opportunity to shape a resilient and competitive automotive industry that benefits both vehicle manufacturers and the broader mobility ecosystem.
However, the challenges facing the automotive sector are far deeper and broader than the limited scope of the first Strategic Dialogue meeting suggests.
For the Dialogue to be truly effective, it must adopt a holistic approach that addresses the entire industry’s long-term challenges. This requires the inclusion of all key players driving innovation, including the aftermarket, mobility service providers, and vehicle-related operators – sectors that are essential for ensuring a sustainable and consumer-centric future.
