Why the Global Car Industry Is Facing Its Biggest Transformation

The car industry isn’t facing one crisis — it’s facing several at once. And this upheaval could completely change what a car is.

From China’s EV rise and software-defined vehicles to batteries, AI and shifting global supply chains, REV investigates who could win the next automotive age — and whether crisis can reinvent the car once again.

The automotive industry has been transformed by disruption before. Oil shocks made fuel efficiency imperative. Dieselgate accelerated the push toward cleaner mobility. Today, electrification, geopolitics, energy security and new competitors are reshaping not only vehicles, but the entire industrial ecosystem behind them.

Experts from industry and research examine how batteries, software, AI, manufacturing and new approaches to efficiency are changing the rules of automotive competition.

Will the future belong to battery-electric vehicles, hybrids, radically more efficient cars — or a mixture of technologies depending on the market?

Subscribe to REV for more deep dives into the technologies, ideas and global trends shaping the future of mobility.
