Sustainable Mobility

The convergence of four mega-trends electrification, shared economy, connectivity and autonomous driving is changing the way we think about mobility, transportation, logistics and smart city robotics. Although each trends is profoundly disruptive on its own, the combination of all four is creating new challenges and opportunities.

Today, OEMs dominate the auto industry and design, build and sell mechanical vehicles leveraging their low cost but capital intensive mass production capabilities and extensive distribution networks.

However, the simplified electric powertrain, new manufacturing technologies, self driving technology and connectivity allow new players with customer-centric business models to enter a new connected and almost on-demand mobility-transportation-logistics market. Some of the most significant issues we are facing are helping to create a cleaner and safer world making mobility and living more easy for all.

Autobotik offers a range of specialist services to startups, the automotive industry (OEMs/T1s), cities, institutions, and organizations or those wishing to implement and/or prepare for new mobility solutions. We advise and help implement in the domains of Autonomous Mobility Solutions, Automated Driving, Vehicle Electrification and the future Smart City Digital Eco-System, on technology, products, required systems, technology, automotive business, eco-system requirements, business models, executive training and go-to-market strategies.

Enterprise Solutions

Advise and support on how to implement and manage engineering and organization structures to prepare for new automotive development and technologies, from development and innovation to engagement with technology developers, startups, T1s and OEMs.

Automotive industry is transforming significantly. For example, ADS technology requires deep technology focus in selected robotics domains, but also highly complex integration into the vehicle, into the cloud (connecting to smart city eco-system), and into the digital/physical infrastructure. For smaller organisations, it is imperative to select the areas of focus, while larger organisations require the design and implementation of new competencies and processes. AD technology development originated in a fast “robotics” development environment, and the focus is on how to integrate into the required high-quality automotive domain. Here are a few specific enterprise level solutions that we offer :

Technology Roadmap Development and Global Engineering Consulting
Enterprise Maturity Assessment in Process, Technology, Capability and Products
Automotive Technology Landscaping and Transformation
Automotive Process Development and implementation support

Automated Driving
