The software-defined fleet: Q&A with Targa Telematics
Fleet telematics is entering a new phase. As connectivity becomes embedded in vehicles at the factory, the industry is moving beyond the question of whether vehicles should be connected to how that connectivity should be deployed, governed and turned into measurable business value. For fleet operators, leasing companies and mobility providers, the challenge is no longer collecting data but deciding which data matters, how it should be integrated and which technology stack best supports increasin...

China Speed: Q&A with Catena-X
China Speed has become one of the defining themes in the global automotive industry, reflecting the widening gap between Chinese original equipment manufacturers and many of their US and European counterparts in development pace, software integration and supply-chain responsiveness. While much attention has focused on vehicle launch timelines and cost competitiveness, suppliers increasingly point to a less visible but more significant factor: the speed and quality of data coordination across the...

China Speed and OEM responsiveness in crash performance and repairability: Q&A with Thatcham Research
Over the past few years, one theme has repeatedly surfaced across the automotive industry: how Western original equipment manufacturers can narrow the gap with their mainland Chinese competitors, often summarized as “China Speed.” While much of the debate has focused on shorter development cycles and lower costs, the differences are perhaps most visible at the program level — particularly in how quickly OEMs respond to testing, validation and repairability feedback. From a supplier and ...

The blind spots in the chip supply chain: Q&A with Loftware
The automotive industry has spent the years since the semiconductor shortage pursuing a familiar set of remedies: expanding fabrication capacity, diversifying sourcing, reshoring production and securing long-term supply agreements. Governments have poured subsidies into domestic chip manufacturing; automakers have forged closer relationships with semiconductor producers; suppliers have invested heavily in resilience planning. Yet, amid the race to secure more capacity, a subtler vulnerability pe...

The real meaning of China Speed
From Stuttgart to Detroit, one phrase now dominates discussions about automotive competitiveness: China Speed. It describes a capability many Western carmakers believe they have yet to match — the ability to develop and launch new vehicles in little more than two years. Mainland Chinese manufacturers routinely target development cycles of 18 to 24 months; established European and American rivals often require twice as long, sometimes longer. However, most accounts of China Speed dwell on th...
