The automotive sector is adapting to one challenge after another.
Companies in Mexico first secured their operations thus preventing any
risks to their employees. Then, after a historic hiccup in Mexican
production, operations slowly resumed only to face a shortage of critical
supplies, from semiconductors to plastic injection parts. Now, companies
in North America are facing logistics constraints when bringing
components from Asia as container prices have skyrocketed.
The immediate challenges, however, do not faze OEMs from their needed
transformation from car manufacturers to mobility providers. Connected,
autonomous, shared and electric vehicles are strongly influencing
manufacturing operations, driving material technology innovations and
strengthening Industry 4.0 capabilities. Get to know the shortcomings
and opportunities in the sector directly from those shaping its future at
Mexico Automotive Summit Echo.
