Accelerating to a New World of Mobility

The automotive industry is racing into a new world of mobility, while adhering to
the familiar business model of car design, manufacture, sales, servicing, and
finance. The shift to more sustainable energy and the drive for more livable cities
is increasing the need for convenient, fast, reliable, and cost-effective
transportation. Megatrends such as connectivity, autonomous driving, and
electrification, along with changing customer preferences, are shaping the
industry and the world of mobility in real time.

Software-Defined Vehicle

As vehicles become more intelligent and connected, they’ll serve as a software-


defined platform for delivering new applications and services – and provide a
constant feedback loop. Data will be exchanged continuously and
asynchronously with customers as well as with OEMs, mobility service companies,
automotive suppliers, dealers, and service providers. This will energize the
automotive value chain, driving collaboration and innovation.

Servitization

Increasingly, companies will support vehicle ownership as well as alternatives


such as leasing, renting, and subscriptions. Endless opportunities to sell
everything as a service will offer flexibility and convenience for customers, while
taking environmental goals into account. Meanwhile, business networks will
provide charge points, bundled mobility services and subscriptions – finding
ways to monetize vehicle, usage and consumption information.

Future practices enabled by SAP solutions


The network of business partners provides bundled mobility services and subscriptions, monetizing
vehicle, usage and consumption information. A central digital vehicle repository stores all vehicle related
master, transactional, and usage data in the cloud. This supports collaborative business-model design
across stakeholders. Additional mobility business scenarios are enabled by the 720 automotive profiler.
These can include leasing, rental, car-as-a-service models, charge point operations, digital services, plus
other functions and features on demand. Consolidated invoicing of mobility services is enabled across
the network. This encompasses the monetization of vehicle usage data in cases of subscription, services,
and insurance.
