In the driver's seat towards a sustainable future

The Automotive & Mobility sector faces a range of challenging issues, unique growth opportunities and promising future trends. It’s all hands on deck for the market players in this industry if they want to tackle the following major challenges: 

  • the shift from cars to alternative modes of transport, with a focus on sustainable multimobility and electric driving (driven by growing environmental and climate awareness) 
  • heavy investment to meet these sustainability challenges (including new engine and fuel types) 
  • an evolution from fleet managers to mobility managers in business 
  • the rise of a sharing economy in mobility 
  • and specifically for the Belgian market: a dying automotive manufacturing industry, with Belgian market players focusing mainly on sales, maintenance and financing in the sector. 

The mobility sector is a sector brimming with opportunities, including:

  • A growing market share of electrical vehicles, at the expense of classic combustion engine vehicles
  • New growth opportunities for new players in battery technology and charging infrastructure
  • The potential of autonomous vehicles (including drones!) to profoundly transform our mobility, with new opportunities for mobility services
  • Stronger customer engagement thanks to digitalisation, with additional opportunities for data analytics and connected car services 
  • An increasing importance of sustainability, including the use of recycling and green technologies (see also air, sea and micro-mobility developments in this context). 

How can BDO help

To seize new growth opportunities, companies need to, in terms of mobility: 

  • continue to invest maximally in research and development in order to keep pace with the needs and wishes of professional and private customers (towards maximum customer satisfaction and brand loyalty) - they have ever-increasing demands for connectivity, comfort and performance of vehicles 
  • continue efforts to be compliant with tightening regulations and safety standards 
  • rethink logistics supply chains, including due to changing and unpredictable demand in China for semiconductors and other materials, for example.
