Major global automakers are revising capital deployment strategies, shifting intermediate focus toward extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). The tactical pivot aligns with slowing growth rates in consumer adoption of pure battery-electric models.
Manufacturing Flexibility
Production facilities are adopting modular platform designs capable of hosting hybrid, battery-electric, and internal combustion powertrains on a single assembly line, mitigating asset write-downs amid changing consumer preferences.
