The Transition to BEVs: Insights from Cristóbal Colón, Matthew Wayne, Ricardo Olalla Guerra, and José Portilla

Episode notes

As the U.S. moves toward a zero emissions mandate, Cristóbal Colón, Matthew Wayne, Ricardo Olalla Guerra and José Portilla explore this transition’s impact on the automotive aftermarket and the opportunities available to capitalize on battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) before it’s too late. Since California’s executive order in 2021, other states have followed suit in the U.S., Europe just approved the Fit for 55 directive banning internal combustion engine vehicles in 2035, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are beginning to invest in developing new BEV models. You will learn about the many benefits of transitioning to a BEV when you make the switch to a zero-emission electric vehicle. "You can't be sitting on your laurels, but you do have time to plan and be very deliberate in how you're approaching this." Cristóbal is a partner and managing director of L.E.K. Consulting based in Madrid, with a special focus on the automotive and mobility industry. Matthew is a managing director and partner at L.E.K, Ricardo is the vice president of mobility solutions for Spain and Portugal at Bosch and José is the CEO of the SERNAUTO Spanish Association of Automotive Suppliers.
