International legislation is mandating the eventual demise of the internal combustion engine (ICE). Technology is enabling vehicles that keep us safer and consumers are increasingly choosing vehicles that are cleaner to run and safer to be in. Implications for manufacturers, fleets, mobility providers, and retailers are huge – from developing new drivetrains and models through to managing ever more complex vehicles throughout their lifecycle.
