- Conduct deep analysis of OEM electrification strategies, platform architectures, and powertrain roadmaps
- Identify programs where our clients’ technology provides measurable performance or packaging advantage
- Develop detailed account intelligence
- Monitor evolving motor technologies and propulsion strategies
- Identify displacement opportunities within incumbent supplier relationships
