Automotive

E-mobility has arrived. How do battery simulations support the development process? How can continuous authoring tools help with the development of the overall architecture and embedded electronics in order to consider the interdisciplinary challenges of autonomous driving? These are just some of the questions that e-mobility providers must answer. Experience alone is not enough to find the right answers. Our consultants are not just experts in their fields, but also visionaries. We must look to the future to develop successful strategy models.

On the one hand, the challenge for companies in the automotive industry is to create an infrastructure for autonomous driving. While on the other hand, they must differentiate themselves from the competition and develop new business models for autonomous driving that are distinct from the ‘normal’ driving experience. h&z has been considering the prerequisites and consequences of autonomous driving for a long time now and can offer highly competent and forward-looking support to help tackle these challenges.

Mobility services tend to be, at least in part, specific to certain markets and regions so these factors must be seamlessly integrated into existing digital ecosystems. In order to meet the high degree of regional specificity of services, H&Z has a cooperation agreement with the Nomura Research Institute, Japan’s largest management consultancy. This means, for example, we’re in a strong position to cover the Asian market and support the region’s automobile manufacturers.

Strategy development often takes place amongst a small circle people, but that doesn’t always yield the desired results since it’s the various departments that must achieve the strategic goals. That’s why your company’s goals, the approaches and the processes must be broken down to departmental level. After all, it’s the people in the departments who must develop the respective measures to put the strategy into effect. And not only that, they’re responsible for making sure that each department does its part to achieve the common company goals. h&z has the expertise to distill these processes and to bundle together the measures needed so that the strategy implementation succeeds.

This particularly applies to areas threatened with redundancy due to changes in technology. On the other hand, companies must deepen and expand their competences in a targeted manner in order to put new products on the market. The e-mobility market is a good example. We have a wealth of experience in product strategy, development, procurement and quality management to help get your processes back on the road to success.
