“The traditional tier one and tier two go-to-market model has evolved,”The new vertical integration approach is different from the old model, where car companies would forge cylinder blocks themselves. They don’t have or want the capability to make chips or to refine battery materials. But they do want to secure the supply long before they need it and that means investing in or partnering specialists.
phrased it. “At the moment there is insufficient investment into raw material supply to meet battery demand in 2030, let alone 2040,”Simon Moores last year following declarations made by some car makers at the COP26 climate summit to go all-electric by 2040.Tesla One other big advantage of going direct to the source of raw materials is that you know exactly its provenance and probable CO2 footprint. “It’s important that you know your CO2 intensity of your input materials,” said Jon Regnart, automotive trend strategist at the UK’s Advanced Propulsion Centre. He cites VW’s investigation of Chilean lithium mining as an example.
